The color is nearly forest/deep green. The louche is a beautiful green. Thick, impressive billows that seem to bounce into cloudy expansion. The louche grows at a near perfect rate, is well defined and reaches to a thin green line of absinthe as it moves to the top of the glass. The color after water is a very nice green tinged body, natural and attractive with good depth. The aroma before louche is a deep herbal tone that’s due especially to the wormwood and fennel with an excellent citrus background. After water a sweet floral and citrus up fore with herbaceous notes that are delicious, that expands from the glass. The mouth feel is smooth and full with a mild numbness. The taste is sweet anise and fennel at first, then a smooth citrus with a minty bitter wormwood, finely balanced herb combination with a light spice coming through. The finish has a lingering presence of wormwood with slight sweetness.
This is an excellent absinthe that I would highly recommend. This is evidently made with top quality herbs, balanced, and delicious. This definitely has become one of my favorite absinthe.
Cheryl has achieved an excellent product..but now to taste Meadow of Love…more to follow…
