A spirit created in 1928, Pernod anise spirit soon built itself a reputation. Now established in over 110 countries, from the United States to Japan, this authentic aperitif is renowned for its subtle flavour with essences of star anise. Extremely refreshing, it is drunk in the most prestigious restaurants and hotels all over the world.
Drink it with water as the French do, or use it in cocktails such as Sazeracor a Corpse Reviver.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
