Pernod Anise Liqueur 750ml is a French aniseed liqueur with roots reaching back to the Pernod name’s early nineteenth-century history. This 750ml glass bottle is offered at 40% ABV / 80 proof. Pernod Ricard describes the modern recipe as a 1920 creation made from distillates of star anise, fennel, and fourteen additional aromatic plants, including coriander and mint. It contains very little liquorice, distinguishing its profile from many pastis expressions while retaining the fresh botanical character associated with French anise spirits.
The spirit emphasizes fresh anise and layered herbal character rather than oak maturation. Star anise supplies the leading aromatic note, while fennel, coriander, mint, and the broader botanical blend add complexity around it. The current package uses Pernod’s tall green bottle, silver screw closure, red name band, and Paris label details. Pernod may be served with cold water and ice, which softens the anise intensity and produces the familiar cloudy effect as the aromatic oils disperse.
