The whole Jean Boyer collection of pastis is exquisite, so you can’t go wrong with any given style, and they have a few. This one is yet another take on pastis, bringing to mind aromas a la gin. It’s full of dried herbs giving a bitter-savoury finish. It’s a composition of candied citrus peel, meadow flowers and herbs, think lavender, thyme, rosemary, lemon balm, tarragon with essential oils scents like tea tree and stone pine needle. Its composition takes your nose straight into the Mediterranean garrigue. Gin lovers gonna love.
