    The brand's roots can be traced as far back as the 1790s. According to legend, it was during this time in
    Neuchâtel
    ,
    Switzerland
    , that Dr. Pierre Ordinaire created a distilled patent medicine that would represent the earliest origins of the drink. The recipe then came into the hands of Henri Louis Pernod through the means of a business deal, and in 1797, he and
    Daniel-Henri Dubied
    [

    ]
    opened the first absinthe distillery in
    Couvet
    , Switzerland.
    Pernod later built a larger distillery in
    Pontarlier
    ,
    France
    , in 1805. This set the stage that would cause the sleepy community of Pontarlier to eventually emerge as the home of twenty-eight commercial absinthe distilleries, and the world's center of absinthe production.

    The golden age of absinthe

    The popularity of the Pernod Fils brand surged in the decades that followed, its impressive market share spawning a string of knock-offs and imitators with deceptive brand names such as "Pernot", "Parrot" and "Pierrot", among others. In 1901, the original distillery was almost completely destroyed by fire. A new, larger and more modern distillery was built in its place. In its heyday, the Pernod Fils distillery was producing as much as 30,000 liters of absinthe per day, and was exporting its product around the world.

    By 1910, France's rate of absinthe consumption had topped some 36 million liters per year.

    With a
    temperance movement
    growing around the world, many prominent
    French
    politicians and scientists turned their interest to France's 'national drink'.
