Seventy Five Years of Herbsaint

March 1st marks the seventy fifth anniversary of the name Herbsaint.

Following the early post prohibition launch of Legendre Absinthe, the F.A.C.A. "requested" that J.M. Legendre change the name of Legendre Absinthe, to a name that would better fit the Federal regulations, so Legendre Herbsaint, became the new name for Legendre Absinthe.
