Introducing Pastis Garagai, the artisanal expression of a traditional southern France aperitif, crafted by the talented Maixent Dubois. Inspired by the scorching hot days of summer and the lively village parties, Pastis Garagai is a drink that evokes memories of warm afternoons and the excitement of Le Tour de France.
Born and raised in Provence, Maixent has a deep connection to the terroir and its flavors. Instead of following in his family's footsteps of winemaking, he decided to put a unique spin on the traditional pastis by infusing it with a variety of locally sourced botanicals, including star anise, liquorice, and herbs from the nearby Sainte-Victoire mountain. This ensures a fresh and vibrant taste, with a lower sugar content compared to commercial brands.
With a production of only 5,000 bottles per year, Maixent's focus on quality is evident in every sip of Pastis Garagai. The distillery, located in Aix-En-Provence, houses three small alembic pot stills that carefully distill the botanicals after a week-long maceration process. The result is a refreshing and flavorful drink that truly captures the essence of Provence.
What sets Pastis Garagai apart is not just its artisanal production, but also its commitment to sustainability. By sourcing locally and using only the freshest ingredients, Maixent minimizes the environmental impact and ensures the highest quality in each bottle.
But don't just take our word for it - try it for yourself. Pour a splash of Pastis Garagai over chilled water and ice, and let the flavors transport you to the picturesque countryside of Provence. With its unique and bold taste, we have no doubt that you'll agree - Pastis Garagai is the best pastis out there.
