Bordiga Pastis Provençal

Herbal. Inviting. Unmistakably Bordiga.
Bordiga Pastis is a refined tribute to the great anise spirits of the Mediterranean — a liqueur that blends French Provençal tradition with the meticulous craftsmanship of the Italian Alps. Distilled in small batches in Bordiga’s historic Piedmont distillery, this Pastis combines star anise, licorice root, fennel, and a bouquet of Alpine and Mediterranean herbs to create a spirit that is both aromatic and deeply expressive.

The flavour unfolds in layers: a bright burst of anise and fennel gives way to subtle herbal tones, hints of spice, and a delicate sweetness that lingers with elegance. When diluted with cold water, it blossoms into a milky cloud, releasing a symphony of aromas that evoke sunlit terraces, sea breezes, and the relaxed rhythm of Mediterranean afternoons. Smooth yet complex, it’s a perfect balance between intensity and finesse — unmistakably Bordiga.

For Irish spirits enthusiasts, Bordiga Pastis offers a rare experience — the warmth of southern tradition infused with northern Italian precision. It’s perfect for those who appreciate artisanal spirits with history and character. Enjoy it as an aperitif with ice-cold water, or use it to bring an aromatic twist to cocktails inspired by the Mediterranean coast. This is Pastis elevated: elegant, authentic, and effortlessly sophisticated.

Why we love it:
We love Bordiga Pastis for its harmony of freshness and depth. The blend of anise, herbs, and spices captures the soul of the Mediterranean while showcasing Bordiga’s masterful distillation. For those in Ireland who enjoy distinctive, aromatic spirits, it’s a unique way to savour Italian craftsmanship with Provençal flair.
