François Guy is produced from old methods of distillation guaranteeing the character of the traditional taste of absinthe. It is therefore no surprise that it won a prize three times in a row at the Absinthiades in Pontarlier.
A particular absinthe which merits being discovered!
Paladar : Fresh and Round. In line with the hints of aniseed found on the nose, it also reveals notes of Grand wormwood.
Finish : Good length. Marked by anise with a touch of grand wormwood.

A fine absinthe with sugar, but without sweetening tastes quite watery even when making a stronger drink. Still, price is right for this everyday absinthe.
Strong anise taste; great bottle. With sugar and water it tastes like Ouzo. It is already fairly sweet. I have used 1:1 ratio of absinthe to water, as that is when it clouds all the way up. Call me a Philistine, but I tried using the sugar water in which apricots are preserved in place of water over sugar, at a ratio of about a tsp. to 2 oz water, and it is very smooth. Let me know I'm not a philistine. This is the first absinthe I have ever had, as it was the least expensive of four bottles I got to try, and I'm saving the others until I am back in civilization again.
I can't rate the absinthe in stars yet because I have nothing to compare it to and I have not finished the bottle. If I submit this and am asked to rate it, it will get three stars just for that reason. It may well be a five-star absinthe. I know I love the bottle.
The fourth bottle is Green Velvet, which I anticipate to be excellent.
I chose this Francois Guy Absinthe because of the honest or down to earth mix of herbs and for the maker.
Yep, program would not let me hold off rating until I could do it well.
One of first post-ban absinthe!
The realy good absinthe to start, but also a good absinthe to drink always!
