Tempus Fugit Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe Française Supérieure, is the crown jewel of absinthe. Crafted in the historic "Capital of Absinthe," Pontarlier, France, this exceptional spirit captures the essence of an era long gone.
At the heart of Vieux Pontarlier lies an assemblage of select botanicals and the finest wormwood grown exclusively in Pontarlier. Distilled in a chardonnay grape base spirit from Burgundy, it harmoniously merges tradition with elegance. This remarkable absinthe was painstakingly developed over five years using the original, pre-ban logbook notes and antique alembic stills, purposefully designed for absinthe-making.
With an impressive 65% ABV, Vieux Pontarlier receives the highest accolades from experts around the world. F. Paul Pacult himself, a renowned authority in the spirits realm, awards it a ★★★★★ HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION, hailing it as the gold-standard for the absinthe category.
Notably, this timeless masterpiece was bestowed with the Best In Class and Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2008. This recognition attests to its exceptional quality and superior craftsmanship.
Pouring a pale peridot green, Vieux Pontarlier mesmerizes as you slowly release ice-cold water—it transforms into a delicate, opalescent cloud, tinged with a gentle green hue. The aroma, fresh and invigorating, reveals intriguing notes of brine, spice, and a hint of mentholated cacao.
The taste experience is a symphony of flavors, unveiling layer upon layer of complexity. The grape spirit lays the foundation, offering a rich and intricate backdrop for subtle herbal undertones. The sweetness of anise and fennel seed finds a perfect balance, heightening the minty and mentholated character unique to true Pontarlier wormwood.
In addition to its unparalleled flavor profile, Vieux Pontarlier's packaging is a work of art in itself. The label conveys a sense of timelessness, blending classic design elements with modern elegance. Its light, easy-to-read font, adorned with tall and narrow letters, ensures legibility and enhances its presence on any website.
Indulge in Tempus Fugit Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe Française Supérieure and experience pure nostalgia in every sip. Embrace the legacy of absinthe as it was meant to be savored – an extraordinary journey through time that culminates in an exquisite, unrivaled spirit.
