Color: Wonderfully deep and jewel-like. Quite attractive.

Louche: Deep and rich. Almost silky. Nice opalescence.

Aroma: Rich and herbacious. Spicy with hints of citrus. Room filling and enticing.

Flavor: Well balanced and complex. Earthy, sweet, spicy, and overall refreshing. The quality of the herbs shows through nicely. Very enjoyable.

Finish: Lots of great layers. Sweet, saline, peppery, minty. Lingers a long time. Simply excellent.

Overall: It's really nice to see so many U.S. producers take such care in producing high quality absinthes like this one. This absinthe should age quite nicely.
