Color: Very light. Almost seems like a flawed blanche.
Louche: Very thick and turbulent louche, beginning immediately. Good layering. It almost seems artificially enhanced.
Aroma: all alcohol heat and anise. Quite unbalanced.
Flavor: Anise and some wormwood. Quite basic. A small twinge of unpleasant bitterness.
Finish: recedes quickly except for some peppery spiciness.
Overall: Entirely basic. They need to really review their coloration methods, as they have been found wanting. It really seemed like I was drinking a blanche.
