History

The history of pastis is closely linked to that of absinthe.

In 1915, when the authorities banned the production and sale of all drinks with an alcohol content above 30 °, as well as all products containing absinthe or a similar color (green color), the producers attempted to create anise-flavored alcohols. that did not contain Absinthe.

The alcohol content was unfortunately too low to bring out the full flavor of the anise alcohols. 1938, when the legal alcohol content rose to 45 °, the flavors of anise could come out and it was in this period that the first pastis was produced.

In 1940, pastis was accused of weakening French soldiers and was again outlawed.

From 1951, anise-flavored aperitifs could be sold freely.
