Curious and unusual is this Italian entry into the absinthe world. The aroma is different yet fragrant and floral. My sample was not remotely green at all but...
After three glasses on three different days, I think this is a very good absinthe. I don't think it is particularly remarkable but it is quite pleasing. It...
This is another tasty absinthe and thanks to a friend, I'm delighted to have my hands on a full bottle of Vieux Carré Absinthe. The color is very pretty...
When Duplais Verte first hit the market, I thought it was an outstanding absinthe. A year slides by and I'm given another opportunity to taste it. The aroma...
The much anticipated release of Marteau de la Belle Epoque will very appropriately attract much attention from the absinthe community. Created by Gwydion Stone, founder of The Wormwood Society...
It's not a verte. The coloring step was a waste of time and energy. It comes out as a dingy blanche both pre and post louched. ...
Okanagan Spirits has created a drink worthy of the name "Gold" from the moment the dark Amber-Green enters the glass until the crisp finish gently fades away. There is...
I like the dark color in the glass. It's different but appealing to me. When the cold ice water started falling into the absinthe, I thought I would...
This is a very good absinthe. The color is a little darker than I prefer but perfectly natural. The louche layers nicely and develops into a lovely thick...
It's blue. It looks like Scope. It tastes like Listerine with a touch of wormwood bitterness. It smells like medicine. Despite the louche (which was a little weak), I couldn't...
The name, Taboo is an unfortunate choice as it conjures up images of the Czechsinthe with the same sounding name which seems to be building on the bad-boy absinthe image....
Marteau Verte Classique has a beautiful color and opalescent louche. My initial impression is the aroma and taste are a little lighter than I expected which I am attributing...
Color: It's perfectly clear. It's a blanche for goodness sakes! Louche: Nice and not too thick. It does get there fast, though. Aroma: Clean, fresh...
To be such an unassuming absinthe, it seems so contentious. People seem to love it or hate it. Fact is, it's a simple little absinthe with an anise...
My personal favorite CO. If I could, I'd store away a case every year, knowing that I'd be giving my grandchildren a remarkable treasure. Another case I'd buy...
A wonderful first absinthe for America! Call it "Jade Lite" but it is a smooth and absolutely drinkable absinthe. Sure it's not as complex as the Daddy Jades...
Kubler 53% is a perfectly lovely, unpretentious blanche. It's everything it promises and while it may not deliver extraordinary complexity, it does serve as a delicious every day La Bleue....
Delicious absinthe from start to finish but wishing for a little longer finish. The pale green color only hinted at the clean, spicy aroma. As I tasted the drink,...
It is quite good, not 1914 Cache good but still very tasty. Once louched, the aroma was pleasantly floral. The mouth feel was perfectly lovely. The taste had ample...
