Granier Mon Pastis 1000 ml

Granier Mon Pastis (1000 ml) is a classic Provençal anise aperitif that captures the relaxed spirit of southern France. Bold licorice and anise flavors are balanced by herbal complexity and gentle sweetness, making it a traditional choice for leisurely afternoons, café terraces, and warm summer evenings. When diluted with cool water, it transforms into a refreshing, aromatic drink that evokes the easygoing culture of Provence.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Granier Mon Pastis originates from Provence, France, a region closely associated with the culture of pastis, the iconic anise-flavored aperitif of southern France. The brand was introduced in 1980 and follows the traditional approach used for Mediterranean anise spirits.

Pastis itself developed in France after absinthe’s early-20th-century ban and became widely popular across Provence and Marseille as a refreshing aperitif enjoyed with water.

Granier Mon Pastis is crafted by infusing a neutral spirit with a carefully selected blend of botanicals including anise, licorice root, fennel, caraway, coriander, vanilla, and subtle spice elements. These ingredients are chosen and infused with care to create the spirit’s distinctive herbal profile.

Bottled at 45 % ABV (90 proof) in this generous 1000 ml format, the spirit reflects the traditional strength typical of classic pastis from southern France.

One of the defining characteristics of pastis is its “louche” effect: when water is added, the clear golden spirit becomes cloudy and milky as aromatic oils emulsify—an iconic visual hallmark of anise-based spirits.
