The pioneer of absinths. It was the only thing I could get in the 90's. After so many years, I have opened the last bottle I left for decoration (a real vintage, believe me;)



Colour has faded, still artificial. There was no louche and there will never be no matter how much effort you put into louching it. It smell of very poor alcohol and mint bubble gum or something alike.



It is so nasty that I would not call it as having a taste. Everyone despite all myths and hyping should avoid it.



If I were able, I would rate louche, taste and finish at 0.

Color is a very non traditional deep blue.



Louche is completely missing. I drank Hill's brand in a bar in Canada, it was prepared using the the burning method and presented as a shot. The sugar grains can be seen floating at the bottom of the glass.



Aroma contains very little anis. It has a very strong alcohol smell.



The taste is that of a cheap vodka. Almost unbearable. It has a very alight anis flavor.



Overall I would not recommend this to anyone. Its only use is to get drunk quickly. If thats what you want the 70% alcohol will do the job well.
