- Pontissalienne is the French word meaning a lady from Pontarlier, the town where this Absinthe comes from.
- The Guy distillery also produces Pontarlier Anis, the only aperitif based on distilled green anise.
- François Guy was one of the first to restart producing distilled absinthe. In 2001, he planted 55 000 plants of absinthe. The new crop was harvested at the end of September and dried during October.
- La Pontissalienne won the gold medal at the Absinthiades 2011 competition.
The Guy distillery was founded in 1890 by Armand Guy. Until 1914, it produced an absinthe which made Pontarlier famous.
François Guy, the great grandson of Armand Guy, took over the distillery and thanks to a change in the European legislation, started distilling François Guy absinthe on 15th December 2001.
- At first, try La Pontissalienne with half a piece of sugar. Then add more or less according to taste.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measures of chilled water.
Founded by Armand Guy, this absinthe distillery is the last family-owned business in Pontarlier, where four generations of distillers have practised their art since 1890.
In addition to absinthe and Pontarlier-Anis, the Guy distillery also produces traditional liqueurs, eaux-de-vie, aperitifs, and preserved fruits.

Added on the : 15/12/2014 EnglishI'd put this right at the top of the mid-shelf absinthes. Its fresh anise flavor is much more balanced by wormwood than the standard Francois Guy offering. This is my go-to daily drinker as well as what I like to use to introduce a person to absinthe in general.
