Double Gold Medal, Best in Class - San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2008

Since 2001, the Emile Pernot Distillery has created and distilled several absinthes that are considered among the best artisanal absinthes in the world. Vieux Pontarlier (pronounced ‘View Pon-tarr-lee-ay’) Absinthe Française Superiéure is carefully crafted in small batches using alambic stills that were specifically designed to make absinthe. Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe Française Superiéure evolved from the research and experience of professional Absintheur Peter Schaf, using historic protocols, distilling techniques and equipment from the 19th Century.

This spirit is distilled using only locally grown Pontarlier wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), which is considered the finest in the world. Additionally, Spanish green anise seed, Provençal fennel and a variety of aromatic herbs and spices round out the recipe. Faithful to the original formulations, there is no sweetening added of any kind - its refreshing taste is obtained entirely from the combination of plants and the distiller’s skill.

In the glass, Vieux Pontarlier is a fine, medium peridot green color. The louche forms gradually, and is lightly milky with opalescent reflections. The aromas evolve after pouring, starting with bright anise and developing heady alpine herb notes with savory, lightly mentholated hints of wormwood. The initial taste is intense and spicily piquant, with round, herbal flavors cradling the wormwood and a long, refreshing, cooling finish of anise and fennel seed.

Impressive February 4, 2010
Reviewer: Chris Henderson from Saratoga Springs, NY United States  
This reminded me of Kubler in that it has that earthy note you get from really good black licorice, the kind that's almost green on the inside when you bite into it. I suspect the "overripe banana" comes courtesy of the brandy base. Grain spirits are more crisp, but I find them boring by comparison. Try this next to Kubler and you'll see what I mean. Kubler is a fne product, but this delivers on promise Kubler never knew it had.

Very Impressive. November 17, 2009
Reviewer: Chris Clady from Portland, OR United States  
At the point where you are willing to spend a little more? I'd say GET THIS.
Having tried Duplais Vert,Pacifique, & Marteau, I choose VP over the others. It's got the wormwood bite well proportioned, & the balance of the other herbs is.......just dreamy.
If you like Obsello or Mansinthe you are sure to enjoy this.

Top Notch March 2, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Yorktown Heights, NY United States  
This is a first-rate absinthe, a vast improvement over the original Emile, which was a little thin and uninspired. This is richly herbal, with butterscotch overtones.

An amazing value: Tasty & Attractive February 2, 2009
Reviewer: Ken Hallenius from Portland, OR United States  
This has become my go-to absinthe as far as a daily drinker. The color is light but discernibly green, the aroma is room-fillingly tangy, and the flavor is multi-layered: anise-forward at the start, wormwood in the middle, spices at the end, with a finish that keeps me coming back for more. I have purchased this twice already, with a third purchase imminent, because I feel this one would do well with some more bottle age. Given the price, in the low-middle of the pack, this is a knockout among its peers!
