Distilleries et Domaines de Provence
Pastis Henri Bardouin 70cl
Description
A French star anise and wormwood flavoured liqueur from Distilleries et Domaines de Provence, first produced in 1990. However, it's not just anise and wormwood you'll find in Pastis Henri Bardouin, oh no. It's a blend of 65 different herbs and spices, many of which are secret. Such mystery, so many ingredients, much intrigue. Enjoy this as an aperitif with plenty of water.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Richly herbal, with excited notes of star anise sitting beneath simmering spiced notes of cardamom and pepper.
Palate
Decidedly green (and not just from the historical connection between Pastis liqueurs and Absinthe) with fresh, roughly chopped herbs, warming spices and, of course, the distinctive notes of wormwood.
Finish
Lasting spicy notes.
Overall
Quite complex, as you would expect from a liqueur with such an expansive recipe, but it's well balanced and enjoyable.
