travis453 Report post Posted January 3, 2016 Bought the whole Jade line and have been drinking NO for the past month+. Just opened my 1898 and wow, this stuff is smooth as Keith Stone. Prepared it lazily in a bourbon glass, 3 and a half parts water plus 4 or 5 small ice cubes. Will be looking forward to it properly prepared in the future. Anyone else have an opinion the 1898??

Bob Tessier Report post Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) I like it, it has a well rounded feel to it. How do you like it compared to the NO? Edited January 4, 2016 by Bob Tessier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

travis453 Report post Posted January 5, 2016 Bob, I agree with you. It is well rounded. Goes down smooth, so smooth it is almost hard to pick up individual flavors. I think i prefer it to the NO for the reason that it seems more rounded and maybe simpler. NO = Holiday absinthe 1898 = year round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hedonist Report post Posted January 23, 2016 This is my least favorite Jade. I do not understand the appeal. Not to bring the thread down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gee13 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Edouard was my least favourite. Had no idea why everyone was raving about it. Then I discovered my first bottle was the bad '09 batch. The '11 batch was divine. I love it now.... Edited January 23, 2016 by gee13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
