Similarly, local products were created as substitutes before the absinthe ban was eventually lifted. Therefore, the American pastis market is quite niche even if there is some demand. From there, the drink’s rise was meteoric, and the resulting wealth allowed Ricard to buy two islands about 35 miles south of Marseilles: Île de Bendor and the neighboring Île des Embiez, where, in 1966, he established the Observatoire de la Mer (now called the Paul Ricard Oceanographic Institute). Bendor is also home to a gallery of Ricard’s artworks—mostly portraits of family members—and a museum of wines and spirits. The latter houses a jaw-dropping collection of more than 8,000 bottles, including cognac given to Napoleon Bonaparte in 1811.

The Plasencia Alma Del Campo has a distinctive anise note in the first third. That being said, the profile of pastis is quite potent. Therefore, take care when pairing cigars as it could easily overpower its flavour. We’re looking at a dark brown liquid. In comparison, Pernod is typically green, but Ricard is a brown colour. It’s somewhat reminiscent of aged absinthe, which tends to change colour when left in the bottle. I believe it’s referred to as “feuille morte” absinthe. Currently, the Ricard firm is still based in Marseille, however, the production of Ricard today takes place in Bessan, with the blending and bottling also taking place in Bordeaux and Lille.

Strebler produces two different versions of pastis, the first is a standard blend but the other is more of a departure. “It’s more herbal and floral,” he says. “There’s still aniseed, fennel, and licorice, but I also use verbena and yerba maté, [a drink] similar to tea or coffee.” The result is delicious, a drink with an almost chocolatey smoothness with the verbena lending a gentle spearmint note. “This is one to savor, with just an ice cube.

My grandfather was the son of wine merchants,” says Ricard’s grandson Francois-Xavier. “He wanted to be an artist, but his father insisted he join the family business, so he learned all the different roles and really got to know the culture.”

For instance, Reserve Bar only retails Ricard. Meanwhile, Drizly has a modest selection but it greatly depends on where you live given that it works with local liquor stores. But there’s one more to try: a pastis that’s specifically designed as a digestif rather than an aperitif. It’s produced by Guillaume Ferroni, the brains behind Maison Ferroni, a distillery at Château des Creissauds in Aubagne, near Marseille. Among a wide range of spirits made there, his sublime version of pastis ages for two years before it’s released as a “vintage.” First of all, I’ll be analysing the undiluted drink’s robe and nose rather than after adding water. Absinthe connoisseurs typically evaluate the drink’s louche effect with water. However, we will be omitting this step as it’s not part of the liquor formula. Another ban came during World War II, but when that was lifted, Pernod launched its own—Pastis 51. The two brands became archrivals until 1975, when the companies merged and became Pernod Ricard.” In 1932, Paul Ricard started the Ricard company to produce and distribute the product, purportedly declaring, "It shall be called Ricard, the real pastis from Marseille!".
