Pernod

Pernod is one of the oldest and most famous French brands in the aniseed liqueur category. Originally celebrated for producing absinthe in the 19th century, the company shifted to making pastis after absinthe was banned in the early 20th century. Today, it is best known for Pernod Paris, a staple of French bar culture.

Pernod represents both the history and the modern expression of the French aperitif tradition—from its roots in absinthe to the enduring popularity of pastis, firmly established among classic anise liqueurs.
