Profile: The Hamelle Pastis Parisien at a glance

• An extraordinary pastis - created with great attention to detail
• In the heart Created and made by Paris from only 13 plants and spices

Portrait: What makes the Hamelle Pastis Parisien.

The first pastis that created and produced in the heart of Paris, is the result of a year's research.
200 plants, 80 macerations and 50 recipes were tested to select just one of them.

The result is an original, unique and contemporary pastis, whose recipe consists of 13 plants and spices.
Unlike many other manufacturers, Maison Hamelle has chosen not to add sugar, to highlight the naturally subtle aromas of the raw materials.

​Diluted with water as an aperitif refreshes on long summer days.
As a digestif, with or without ice cubes, forms it the ideal end to meals.

The Hamelle Pastis Parisien is intended to be different from classic or traditional pastis, although we find the main characteristics of what we can expect from such a drink, especially star anise and licorice. In addition, the Hamelle Pastis Parisien is sugar-free in order to develop the full complexity of its aromas.​

Tasting Notes: This is how the Hamelle Pastis Parisien tastes

• Nose: the anise and licorice flavors are very present, supported by herbs such as mugwort and lemon balm - as well spicy aromas of cinnamon
• Palate: in the first few seconds star anise and licorice explode in the mouth, then the other notes come in - first the plants that bring in a tannic side (lemon balm and elderflower), then the spices (cinnamon, coriander and nutmeg)
• Finish: soft and fresh finish with mint and cardamom

Diluted with water: 
Like a classic Pastis, Pastis Parisien is drunk lying down with water, depending on your taste between 3 and 6 times the amount of water. 
For those who want to reduce bitterness and prefer a more traditional pastis taste, 
it can also be sweetened (a lump of sugar or liquid sugar).

Dry or with ice cubes: 
Hamelle Pastis Parisien can also be drunk dry, as an aperitif or as a digestif.
It can also be enjoyed with an ice cube to dilute it and to cool down a bit.
During the tasting, all the subtleties and complexity of this pastis can be enjoyed.  

Thanks to its mint and nutmeg notes, Hamelle Pastis Parisien is perfect to round off a meal with a fresh and slightly spicy note.
