Colour: pleasant to look at, striving towards Duplais’ jaune, could be darker or getting amber.
Louche: decent, slowly-forming but ends up too chalky and whitish.
Aroma: strong, funky at times, anisy
Flavour: spicy, balanced but not creamy, lacks initial wormwood attack.
Finish: too spicy, gets a bit blunt towards end.
Overall: apart from louche-action there is no resemblance to Pernod fils whatsoever. That batch from which the sample has been given to me lacks definitely something.
