Francois is often described as one of the very best brands available. The reason therefore is clear: Guy is one of the few distilleries, that produced Absinthe in the Belle Epoche.

The recipies are nearly the same as than and as you can see yourself they are using the old stills that are in use since the late 19 century. Its unique taste is absolutly fantastic.

The aroma of the liquor is pleasant, being somewhat aromatic and a bit woody, bearing a certain similarity to pastis.

The liquor itself is virtually clear, with just a slight tinge of olive. Tasted neat, the flavour is predominantly of anise, with the woody component being significant, yet not obtrusive. The liquor louches well upon the addition of water and the flavour remains simple and refreshing, being neither thin nor heavy, with that telltale woodiness making its presence known with every sip.
