«On the 11th of January 1755, a young woman named Marie Brizard
crossed the Place Royale in her hometown of Bordeaux.
Thomas, a West Indian sailor from the Intrepid, lay in a corner
burning up with fever.
Marie took the man in and saved his life.
To thank her, he gave Marie his only treasure:
the secret of an extraordinarily fresh and delicious aniseed liqueur...»
If you believe the legend, that is how Marie Brizard Anisette
was born.
The recipe, a subtle blend of 11 plants and spices
that has been kept secret for over 250 years, has remained
unique and unchanged.
