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, savour François Guy with half a piece of sugar. Then add more or less according to your taste.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measure of fresh 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.

the one time (two Years ago) when an order got hung up, you followed up (I enjoyed our phone conversation) and all was well. That personal attention and the fact you sell an excellent product is the reason I will continue to order from your company. (the Gummy Bears don't Hurt either) Blazah

Added on the : 01/06/2018 EnglishVery refreshing, simple and elegant absinthe that really brings a relaxed state of mind. Not too laborious or overly complex like some of the "high end" absinthes - this one is simple and at the same time real enjoyable one. A great after work or summer evening drink that leaves you wanting for more. Will buy again for sure!

Added on the : 17/04/2018 EnglishVery, very good. It's my "standard" absinthe with the right price.

Added on the : 27/02/2018 EnglishLower alcohol, lower priced and more than reasonable tasting absinthe. The weakest point is the louche. The effect is excellent. An essential staple for ending a bigger evening on the absinthe so that you don't "burn" all of the much more pricey high quality stuff in your collection!

Added on the : 22/02/2018 EnglishAs a relative newcomer who has tasted only a few good absinthes and been trapped by a couple of imitations, pardon me if I keep my language simple! As a beginner I always cautiously dripped water through a sugar cube, not being very keen on strong bitterness. This absinthe had an intriguing aroma and taste, the anise clear but not overwhelming, and the sugar offset the bitterness. I detected what I would describe as an interesting earthy taste as well. I tried it without sugar to distract, and was glad I did. I found a blend of tastes, none ovewhelming. I also took it with a little less water (a half finger below the upper mark on a Pontarlier glass) and enjoyed that. If I'd more experience with other absinthes my star rating might have gone another way, but my three stars is cautious, and I considered four.
