I applaud North Shore for a well made American Absinthe!
The olive green color color is nice, but maybe a little too dark.
The louche slowly builds from the bottom to a thick, opalescence. Though, nearly opaque,light shines through and gives off brilliant colors.
There is a nice anise and mint in the aroma. Something else is there that I am not sure of.
I really enjoy the flavor. Anise, citrus, mint, followed by a nice wormwood.
The finish is nice and stays with you for quite a while. There is something there that is a bit odd to me. It must be in the coloring (grassy?).
I think this is a very nice absinthe. I am tasting this from a sample and would buy a bottle. After tasting the verte, I can't wait to try their blanche.
Well Done!
