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.

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.
