Famed Scottish Blanche. Sad to see it go.

Loch Ness Absinthe was a unique Scottish blanche (clear) spirit from Loch Ness Spirits distillery, crafted by Lorien and Kevin Cameron-Ross using Scottish wormwood, juniper, anise, and local water, winning gold at the French Absinthiades in 2018. Though highly acclaimed, the distillery ceased operations in late 2022 due to capacity and personal reasons, making the spirit rare but legendary for its authentic Scottish ingredients and distinctive taste.

A wee stoater from Scotland, I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Appearance: clear and bright and inviting
Louche: great build. Fully louched at 2:1 with my mini fountain and ice cold water. Very attractive. Opalescent.
Aroma: clean fresh minty room-filling wormwood and anise. Just wonderful.
Flavor; simple, dry and minty with a great balance of the holy trinity. The juniper adds a really interesting crispness and almost a palate cleansing sip.
Finish; clean finish with genepy and anise. I don’t actually think there’s any generic in here, but the combination of anise. WW and juniper lend a similar experience. Not overwhelming, but lingers enjoyably.
Overall, as a Blanche, this is about as good as you can find. Simply great. Grab it if you can still find it!
