In 1890, the Emile Pernot Distillery was founded in the city of Pontarlier, which is situated in the shadow of the Jura Mountains. At the time, the city's twenty-two distilleries were known for producing the finest absinthe in the world — Pontarlier's alpine climate provided the distilleries with exclusive access to herbs and spices available nowhere else. Vieux Pontarlier continues to be crafted in the city of Pontarlier using the distillery's original absinthe recipe. The absinthe is made from locally-grown Artemisia Absinthium (a type of wormwood), which is considered to be the finest in the world. In addition, the distillery uses green anise seeds and Provençal fennel seed, together with a secret blend of other aromatic herbs and spices. As per the original recipe, no artificial colors or sweeteners of any kind are added. It has a medium green color, along with an aroma of bright anise, alpine herbs and light wormwood. The aroma gives way to intense notes of spices, herbs, mint and wormwood on the palate, before finishing with a touch of anise and fennel.
