Pernod Absinthe ‘Original Recipe’

This newly released absinthe (which will replace their most recent, artificially colored ‘Absinthe Superieure’) uses a wine-based distillate, rather than a grain-based one; its green hue is derived from macerated green nettles, rather than from dyes; and it utilizes wormwood sourced from Pontarlier, France. Please note that this is not Pernod’s first (Original) recipe. It is a recipe from the 1890s according to representatives. But one can still argue that the recipe is ‘original’ to Pernod, i.e. proprietary.
