Traditional Absinthe
French style blanche
Overall rating
3.8
The review was conducted 2/9/2010 from a well-stored bottle.
The results of that tasting are really impressive since when fresh from the bottle without aeration the blanche was so-so.
Colour is clear and produces a bubble
Louche is not in the vein of les bleues, but is a typical, tonned-down French blanche louche
Aroma is composed of orchestra of wormwood, a little genepi, chamomile and some earthy notes from angelica.
Being so invited it is a great disappointment with the flavour: Overbalanced. Coriander in the very end with veronica. Middle palate is built of chamomile and wormwood, genepi comes over at 1:4, but it is the the maximum dilution, 1:3 is perfect. The alcohol seems to be of top notch quality unless it is 74%
A blanche indeed but needs some cuts in the anise department, the mouth-feel is sticky and heavy. I believe that problem has been omitted finally in Double, which it is to some extent quite similar.
