Ricard Pastis de Marseille
Description
Ricard Pastis de Marseille is an iconic, smooth, and deeply aromatic anise-flavoured aperitif from France's vibrant port city of Marseille that beautifully captures the sunny charm of its Mediterranean origin by blending bold botanicals with a refined herbal complexity. On the nose, this classic French spirit shows a pungent bouquet of sharp star anise and rich black liquorice, seamlessly layered with subtle notes of fresh fennel, green herbs, and citrus peel. The palate is muscular yet surprisingly smooth, offering a thick, creamy mouthfeel with intense flavours of sweet anise and liquorice root supported by the delicate herbal nuance of Provencal plants and a pleasant alcohol warmth. The finish is long, crisp, and refreshing, turning milky white upon dilution and lingering on notes of minty lemon, cooling menthol, and clean herbs, making it a perfect pairing for ice-cold water alongside Mediterranean dishes like grilled seafood, fresh bouillabaisse, or olive tapenade.
