Product information "Liqueur d'Absinthe de Pontarlier"
The locally grown Wormwood from around Pontarlier gives “Liqueur d’Absinthe de Ponarlier” an incomparably intense, and especially floral aroma. Already by the 19th century, it was common knowledge that the combination of Andalusian Anise Seed and Pontarlier Wormwood was extremely tasty. I have the impression that this product had been developed by accident, when someone at the Guy Distillery tasting room poured sugar syrup instead of water into his Absinthe. But so often these kinds of “accidents” lead toward a great new invention, this one that we can now all enjoy and at only 25% ABV, is best served ice cold.

Distillerie Guy
Florentin's cousin, a cheesemaker from Champagnole, supported Armand Guy from Pontarlier financially to set up a distillery. Armand Guy bought a piece of land on Rue des Lavaux, built a building on it, bought a still and started his business. For Florentin's cousin, Armand Guy to finance it, the absinthe produced there had to bear his name. As managing director, Armand Guy was responsible for the success of the business. Florentin Cousin and Armand Guy separated in 1906 after Guy had repaid the last installment of the loan. Florentin Cousin then founded a distillery in Champagnole which his descendants later sold to H. Deniset Jeune from Pontarlier. After separating from his brothers, Ernest Cousin took up work as a distiller in Francbourg. He produced about 120,000 bottles of Absinthe Cousin Jeune a year.
The buildings in Rue de Lavaux, Pontarlier still exist today and absinthe is still distilled there today - it's the Guy distillery.
