Notes - Pastis Janot was founded in 1928 by Alfred Maunier, it is situated at the foot of Le Garlaban Mountain in the heart of Provence. Made in the traditional way (not distilled), several herbs and plant are left to macerate slowly for at least 3 weeks - this gives the pastis a certain richness and finesse over other pastis. Janot is particularly popular in the south of France.
