Appearance: Very attractive peridot. No visible sediment.
Louche: Attractive, thick, and opalescent. Yellows, greens, and whites all play in harmony.
Aroma: Minty and herbaceous. Lots of wormwood with hints of angelica and citrus. Quite refreshing.
Flavor: Very herbaceous and complex. Interesting stuff. Lots of wormwood. The new WW varieties add some subtle woodsy layers that are quite pleasant. Very well balanced.
Finish: Lots of lovely herbs. It's complex, with a nice dryness and coriander spice.
Overall: This is a SERIOUS absinthe. Really good stuff. I can see why it was a favorite at the 2015 Absinthiades. Really, you should try this.
