Different! This is not an Absinthe for everybody..

Louche was barely average looking, basically an uninspiring one, Color is a tad septic and earthy.Highly hyped for the multi-floralfauna aspects,the new domestic aromas of Fennel,Terragon and Nettles are at first mystical and swirling,building with an increasingly aggressive flavor as you dive into the glass,now,this is ok if it ends on a smooth finish,but its menthol bite aftertaste "snaps" at you at the end, thus this one becomes not my cup of Absinthe. Perhaps, its due the Brandy base with wormwood that Im not just not used to.Ouch!

The floral crispness and velvetness of Eich Verte is bouquet lite ,crisp and far preferred by comparison.This is not an Absinthe I would give to newbies just starting out as its

astringency and courseness in each sip can be overwhelming.Its really not something I want to pay even this reduced US price for. Agreed,its a good early USA attempt that has a lot of complexity and effort involved,but perhaps Im just spoiled on the Euro base Recipies,at least for now.Perhaps "Round Two" will be smoother.A good first try but "It ain'nt no Eich"!

This is a really strange, but quite good, product. The bottle is beautiful, but the color could use some artificial coloring to hide its jaundiced verte status. The aroma is like an italian dinner and my very first sip was almost a spitter. However, by the time I finished the glass, and on subsequent glasses, I was thoroughly enjoying it. Many people find this to be the most interesting flavor at tasting parties, but enthusiasm for the second glass tends to be lacking. In general, nobody hates it, but people react either indifferently or love it. It is one I plan to stock regularly for the effect.



The louche is similar to most other brands, but nothing special or memorable. The flavor is hard to describe, but oregano or tarragon seems to dominate the palate. The flavor works in cycles more so than any other brand I've tasted. It starts with a slight anise, followed immediately by the oregano, and closure with the wormwood. Other flavors come and go and as far as mystic goes, this brand takes the cake. You will just have to decide whether mystic is all it's cracked up to be. The finish is superb, leaving the entire bouquet on the tongue with a gentle fade. Personally, I found this to be very good and enjoy it fairly regularly, but it is not typical of most absinthes out there.
