Lemercier Absinthe - France

Abisinthe Lemercier

Maison Pernod Fils used wine as the alcohol needed to distill absinthe (called the proof-spirit). However, Phylloxera began affecting grape production, thus affecting wine production. Pernod did not follow suit of other absinthe companies that began using beets, grains, or potatoes to produce the proof-spirit. For this reason, the absinthe produced at Maison Pernod Fils maintained its high quality.
