The essence of fresh wild strawberries macerated into pure spirit, this liqueur picks up the varied sweet and tart aspects of the fruit, giving it a delightful acidity and delicacy of flavor that allow it to be used as an alternative either to the usual crème liqueurs or to a vermouth or other aromatized wine. Also delicious on the rocks with a splash of soda.
Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe is carefully crafted in small batches using alambic stills that were specifically designed to make absinthe. This historic spirit is distilled using locally grown wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), which is considered the finest in the world, along with green anise seed, Provençal fennel seed and a variety of additional aromatic herbs and spices. Faithful to the original formulations, there is no sweetening added of any kind - its refreshing taste is obtained entirely from the combination of plants and the distiller's skills.
