Our Story
In early 1999, Crillon Importers Ltd. introduced absinthe to the U.S. market making it available for the first time since it was banned in 1912. Crillon Importers also launched Magellan Gin, the original blue gin. Rhum Barbancourt, the most famous Haitian brand, was also brought into the Crillon fold. The company now belongs to the iconic Distilleries et Domaines de Provence. The distillery has been making aperitifs and liqueurs for over 120 years, such as Absente Absinthe and Henri Bardouin Pastis “Grand Cru.”
Our Founder
From 1963 to 2019, Crillon Importers founder Michel Roux distinguished himself in the business community as an exceptional marketer. Deeply involved in sponsoring the Arts, working with some of the greatest American painters of the 20th century, Michel first had the idea of engaging spirit brands into Arts giving them a “ supplement of soul”.
Our Legacy
Michel Roux was responsible for the popularity, success, and in some cases concepts of some of the world’s most renowned spirits, including but not limited to Absolut Vodka, Bombay Sapphire Gin & Grand Marnier. He passed away in April 2019, but his memory will live through his legacy in Crillon Importers.
