A complex and elegant Grand Cru, Henri Bardouin Pastis is not just any aniseed spirit. Its secret lies in the perfect blend of over 65 plants and spices that have been picked, macerated, distilled and balanced to perfection. Henri Bardouin Pastis is made by hand, guided each step of the way by its unique experience and savoir-faire. The ingredients selected to go into Henri Bardouin Pastis are sourced far and wide: star anise from China; liquorice from Turkey; grains of paradise from the Great Lakes region; Tonka beans from Guyana, cardamom from the Indian Ocean...and the list goes on.
Henri Bardouin Pastis is drunk as an aperitif, completed with water. Generally, six volumes of cold water are added for one volume of pastis. A pastis for tasting requires a greater dilution than industrial pastis, in order to appreciate its fine aromatic flavors. 
The only pastis to be awarded a Gold Medal at the Paris Agricultural Show (Concours Général Agricole de Paris), Henri Bardouin Pastis distinguishes itself from other pastis by its elegance and richness of flavor.
