Dear Absintheur! Every year in October the Absinthe Fair Absinthiades takes place in Pontarlier, France. Pontarlier is located in the eastern part of France, right to the border of Switzerland. At the turn of the century, in Absinthe’s peak time, Pontarlier was the French capital of Absinthe. Pernod Fils had a big distillery there. And also nowadays, a lot of Absinthe is distilled in this historical part of France.
This year, an all-time favorite won the contest: Absinthe Francois Guy. F. Guy is an Absinthe with a higher anise level, but as the anise (and wormwood) is grown in the fertile regions of Pontarlier, this Absinthe has a very aromatic smell and taste. You might have tried Francois Guy already, if not you should definitely stock this Absinthe in your bar. We offer the winner of the Absinthiades for a limited time for a reduced price.
Gold Award Winner of the Absinthiades: Francois Guy Absinthe
We have chosen Francois Guy as our Absinthe of the Month – a definite winner in terms of taste! The recipe primarily focuses on green anise and wormwood grown in Pontarlier. We recommend preparing your glass of Francois Guy Absinthe according to the traditional Absinthe ritual with ice-cold water and one sugar cube, as the sweetness of the sugar supports the aromatic experience. Cheers from the World of Absinthe,
Your ALANDIA Team!
