Pernod is a unique French anise-based liqueur. There?s nothing quite like Pernod to really uplift and illuminate the senses.The distinctive flavour of Pernod is created through a combination of star anise and several important aromatic herbs - mint, fennel, corriander and many others. When water is added to Pernod it takes on a beautiful yellow-green opalescent tint. Pernod has a clean anise nose and a fresh, minty, liquorice taste that expands giving a long finish. It?s dry, refreshing and sophisticated.source: pernod-ricard-nz.com
