Pernod

The Pernod brand, established in 1805 by Henri-Louis Pernod, is one of the oldest and most renowned French anise-flavored spirits brands. It originated with the creation of absinthe, a popular drink in 19th-century France, particularly among artists and writers. However, due to concerns about the psychoactive properties attributed to one of its ingredients, wormwood, absinthe was banned in France in 1915.
