Pontarlier

France

The history of the Guy Distillery, a famous French maison for the production of aniseed and absinthe liqueur in Pontarlier, is deeply linked to the geography of this village in the Franche Comtè region and to the family saga begun by Armand Guy in 1890. Technically trained at the Maitre Distillateur Vichet, Armand founded his distillery in the years in which the village of Pontarlier alone housed 23 distilleries, with 3,000 of the total 10,000 inhabitants hired in production.

Pontarlier

His son Georges continues his work at the end of the First World War, refining the techniques for the production of the Pontarlier-Anis, in all respects identical to the family recipe of the Absinthe, if not for the absence of the same wormwood plant , prohibited at that time. The time frame marked by the interdiction of the plant will mark the return to the manufacture of aperitif drinks based on other medicinal herbs and to the study of what will later become the liqueur par excellence of Haut-Doubs: the Vrai Sapin, now known like Vert Sapin.
