About the Pernod brand:

The history of the Pernod brand is closely linked to the rise of absinthe in France. Henri-Louis Pernod began commercial production of absinthe in the late 18th century and in 1805 founded the Pernod Fils distillery in Pontarlier, France, considered the first major absinthe distillery in France. At that time, it was a drink exceptionally popular among artists, poets, and intellectuals.

Production of Pernod absinthe continued until 1914, when absinthe was banned in France. After a long period of prohibition, Pernod Absinthe returned to the market and is now produced at the distillery in Thuir according to a recipe found in a 19th-century manuscript. Production follows traditional methods and is carried out without added sugar, in accordance with current regulations.
