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!
