Emile Pernot Pontarlier H. Deniset Jeune Absinthe (50cl)

Pontarlier H. Deniset Jeune is a clear absinthe made by Les Fils d'Emile Pernot, a distillery in La Cluse-et-Mijoux that has worked since 1890. It is one of the few clear absinthes made in Pontarlier, with a fresh character and a distinct absinthe flavour. The name recalls Henri Deniset, who began making absinthe in Pontarlier in 1867. His distillery, known as Deniset-Klainguer, was taken over by Emile Pernot in 2006. The label reproduces a vintage poster by the French artist Marcellin Auzolle, showing Pierrot in a scene from Don Juan. It can be served with cold water and sugar to taste, or used in cocktails.
