Color: A very nice, vibrant peridot green.
Louche: Great louche build. Completely louched by about 2:1. Deep and opalescent and vibrant with tints of green still showing through. Very nice.
Aroma: an appetizing blend of anise sweetness with some earthiness and a bit of peppery spice.
Flavor: Quite sweet, even without sugar. A nice dose of white pepper spice at the back of the tongue. Nice wormwood, but I'd like it to be a tad bit more prominent.
Finish: I pick up the wormwood a bit more on the finish as it plays nicely with the anise. Some definite anethole numbing, with some warmth going down the throat.
Overall: Quite enjoyable! Definitely a keeper. A smart buy for anyone looking for a traditional absinthe profile.
