Legendre Absinthe was the original Louisiana product made by J. Marion Legendre, who claims to have learned the art in France during World War I. When absinthe was declared illegal, he renamed it to Herbsaint. Sazerac re-launched the product as Herbsaint Original Liqueur.

Please note: the 100 proof version is considered the original recipe. There is a 90 proof version that is considered the revised version.
