Aelred Pastis 1889 Provencal 0.7L 45% A spirit with tradition After the production, sale and consumption of spirits containing thujone, such as absinthe, were banned at the beginning of the 20th century, farmers from Provence secretly set about developing an alternative. This led to the creation of 'Pastis', which is derived from the French 'pastiche', which in English can be translated as 'imitation'. This Pastis consists of a certain basic ingredient, star anise. Its alcohol content is between 40 and 45% vol. It is important that the spirit can be called Pastis if it has a clearly perceptible aniseed flavour and uses natural extracts from liquorice. Other herbs and plants may also be used, so thyme, cumin and savory are usually found in the ingredients list alongside anise. Other guidelines for the designation as pastis are the glycyrrhizic acid content, which comes from the liquorice root, and the amount of sugar. Recommended consumption Pastis is usually served with ice-cold water. For this, the liquor is diluted in a ratio of 5 to 1 (water/pastis). Pastis is now also used as an ingredient in long drinks, e.g. in combination with bitter lemon or orange juice. In the south of France, and thus in the home of Aelred Pastis 1889 Provencal, another way of serving pastis has become popular. In addition to the ice water mentioned above, you also add a splash of syrup or liqueur.

Opyos Pastis de Luxembourg 2020 0.7L 45% Opyos Beverages produces spirits in limited quantities, inspired by the rich tradition of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The unique taste of Opyos comes from the harmonious union of native botanicals and classic spirit ingredients. The result is an exclusive range of products with intense flavors that perfectly reflect the local terroir. In the production of our Pastis de Luxembourg, precise planning and a minute-by-minute production process are crucial. The process begins with the selection and preparation of the 11 ingredients according to our recipe. Some are distilled, others macerated for longer periods of time, and some experience both. During maceration, the selected plants, herbs and spices are individually filled into containers containing neutral grain spirit. It takes a few days for the alcohol to extract the desired flavors. The result is different extracts, each with its own characteristics and contribution to the final spirit. In addition to the maceration process, a distillate is produced using traditional copper stills. This allows the extraction of the different oils, essences and aromas from the various herbs, plants and spices. After distillation, the extracts and distillate are carefully mixed and gradually diluted with demineralized water to bring the pastis to a drinking strength of 45% vol. Before filtering, the mixture is left to rest for a few weeks to allow the sediment of the extracts to settle at the bottom of the tank. Once the batch has been tasted and approved, the sugar is added and the pastis is ready to be bottled. The aroma is characterized by green herbs such as fennel, star anise, sweet liquorice and chamomile. On the palate, an intense play of anise and lemon peel with a hint of liquorice unfolds. The finish is deep and long-lasting, characterized by anise and liquorice notes. Opyos Pastis de Luxembourg can be enjoyed neat, on ice or as a refreshing aperitif, perfect with fish, vegetables and cheese.

Ricard Pastis Anissée, 1 L, 45% Anisées - spirits with a long tradition In the world of spirits, aniseeds (aniseed drinks) have an old tradition. Already 3500 years ago, some peoples valued the effect of aniseed spirit on stomach and intestinal complaints. Based on this long tradition, aniseeds can now be found in all parts of the world. While the Turks call it Raki, in Italy it is known as Sambucca and in Greece as Ouzo. Absinthe: Famous and infamous The most famous and at the same time most infamous spirit made from anise is absinthe. Absinthe, which appeared as a healing elixir towards the end of the 18th century, reached its peak in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries as an important source of inspiration for artists and writers. After absinthe was banned in 1915 because of its alleged hallucinogenic effects, people looked for alternatives. Paul Ricard reinterprets absinthe The Frenchman Paul Ricard finally brought pastis onto the market in 1932. The production of this spirit is based on triple-distilled neutral alcohol, which is mixed with anise, star anise, liquorice and other herbs. It does not contain the active ingredient thujone, which is responsible for the effect of absinthe. Pastis Ricard quickly developed into one of the most popular aniseed drinks in the world and is traditionally drunk diluted with water. When diluted in this way, the pastis is colored milky by the so-called "Louche Effect". Pastis Ricard offers intense aniseed aromas with clear notes of liquorice and herbs. The self-respecting Parisian doesn't drink Pernod, he drinks Ricard!
