Review Detail

Overall:
I think this makes a great summer absinthe. It's cool, but rich and herbal. This would also have some great culinary uses, you could use this in pie, chocolates, ice cream, in the cream of a fruit tart, etc. If this was added to some chocolate ganache and made into a truffle it'd be to die for.

Aroma:
Kind of butterscotchy without water. Completely different after louche. Menthol, peppermint, reminds me a little of peppermint schnapps.
Appearance:
Goldenrod peridot. Creamy green while maintaining some of that goldenrod topped by a blue green ring.
Louche:
Water drives out some nice gold honey colors, with a little amber cognac. Clouds up nice and thick.
Taste:
Balmy, citrusy, cool menthol, and orange cream pie with lemon zest. Nice mouthfeel. Not too dense, but velvety and clings to everything it touches. I have to repeat it, this really does taste and feel like an orange cream pie with a minty, anise, creamy fennel, wormwood garnish.
Finish:
The mint goes away quick and this is where the trinity shines through, and it lingers longer after. Cooling and refreshing.
