Tasting notes: On opening the bottle, the bouquet is much stronger than the wormwood-free substitutes like Herbsaint, it has an almost fruity, woody smell. The color is a vivid devilish green. Louche effect is quite pronounced and yields a nice opalescent green color. The flavor is quite different from Pernod or Absente. It has a black-licorice (anise) flavor to be certain, but not as prominently as some other brands. The wormwood flavor takes on a whole new character. It isn’t hardly at all bitter, but there is a very deep woody flavor. It reminds me somewhat of chocolate, but with none of it’s sweetness. There are prominent secondary flavors of lemon and mint.’ 68% Alc./Vol. – tasting note sourced from Michael Lake.
