Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe Francaise Superieure is a traditional French absinthe made with a blend of herbs and spices, including grande wormwood, anise, fennel, and other botanicals. This absinthe is distilled in the traditional French style and is bottled at a higher proof than most other absinthes. It has a strong herbal aroma and a smooth, slightly sweet flavor. Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe Francaise Superieure is best enjoyed in a traditional absinthe ritual, with a sugar cube and a slotted spoon.
