White Fairy

This was a decent blanche back when it first came out, but has fallen behind the curve of late, with so many high quality products making appearances.

Color: Clean and bright without sediment

Louche: Nice milky white louche. A bit weak, but not weak enough to drop it to a 3.

Aroma: Not unpleasant but weak. Clean and crisp but lacking character.

Flavor: Not bad, but unremarkable. It's clean and crisp with just a bit of off-putting bitterness. The anise is surprisingly light. It's definitely dominated by the wormwood, which seems to be of acceptable but not exceptional quality. It would benefit from a higher quality AA.

Finish: Unremarkable.

Overall: Back when I bought this, I was glad that I did. At this point, I probably wouldn't buy another bottle because there are better blanches available at the same price.
