Green chilies on the nose, very jalapeno like. Like a spicy ethnic meal. This is wonderful, one of the best noses I have witnessed in an absinthe. If you like complex and savory this is a must try. One of my all time favorites and a must have in my opinion.

4-5 stars depending on taste

Hate saying I find this less steller then everyone else. Obviously this product is the result of hard dedicated work & research. I prefer something where the wormwood flavor is more pronounced, maybe something a little more standard. This is very nice, but just not my personal favorite. I've seen prettyier louche in other brands, but what counts is effect & taste. However, I found this one more appealing with a little added sugar. This one has complexity! The mintyness does not come across as mouthwashy. I would consider this the most versatile brand I have had, as with varying the amount of water or sugar different flavors become more apparent, making this a very fun one to explore. This one costs more, but goes farther too.I'd reccomend trying this,particularly to those who may not like absinthe.

I was extremely disappointed by this offering. There was a very distracting taste in there I can only describe as metallic. It was so distracting that I couldn't really focus on much else. This is a perfect example of why one must try a product themselves instead of taking the word of others as gospel. I know that some have motives for giving favorable reviews of certain products. I give it 2 stars because I know it's a quality product, though I personally find it undrinkable.

A tossup between this and the Pacifique

Hmmm, if I had to choose, I would say this is only a *TAD* bit better than the Pacifique.
There is a bit of a rivalry between the two brands.........

Creamy and dreamy this absinthe is the closest I have ever had to pre-ban absinthes.
