Reviewed on 9/27/2022 - Bought from Absinthe-Dealer dot eu
Appearance - Appealing fuille morte (a brownish shade due to chlorophyll breaking down), not visible sediment
Louche - surprisingly strong. Not quite opalescent but attractive
Aroma - light and perfumy with sweet anise, peppery coriander, and minty wormwood abundant. It was nice, but I could've used a bit more punch.
Flavor - silky and buttery with nice mouthfeel. Well balanced. Nice flavors from the trinity, but slightly thin.
Finish - the trinity lingers, but there's a slight 'coppery' twang that I didn't care for at the very end.
Overall - lots of good things going on here. I'd like more mintiness from the wormwood and a bit more anise balance, but this works. I'm looking forward to seeing what future batches are like.
