Pernod Absinthe, the first-ever absinthe commercially produced and sold, has announced the re-launch of its original formula. Available on- and off-premise in October 2013, the change marks a new chapter in the brand's storied history. The formula was developed during a two-year process using the few remaining records of how Pernod Absinthe was made in the 1800s. Since the 1912 ban on absinthe in the United States was lifted in 2007, Pernod Absinthe has been at the forefront of the spirit's renaissance.
