I like everything about this absinthe, except for the choice of wormwood, which I suspect is responsible for this odd waxy taste in the finish.



I noticed it in the Montmartre, as well, but the extreme spiciness seemed to obscure it a bit.



Otherwise, the color, aroma, flavor, and particularly the louche were definitely above average.

After this was recommended to me, I thought I would give it a try. I am so happy I did. It was lovely to drink and experience. I will be ordering it again!

This is definitely an Absinthe and not an absinth by our standards. It is properly made and very well done at that. The color is a deep green and louches beautifully both in the process and final result. The aroma is fantastic, complex, and room filling. The flavor is well balanced, rich, complex and interesting, everything to rate a five on our scale. I found it to be very spicy. Now, typically when I use the word "spicy" in an Absinthe review, I am referring to a warm apple pie type of spice and not a hot/peppery spice. The Eichelberger spiciness, however, is black peppery. This flavor comes at the end and lasts into the finish.



This Absinthe is very well done and one of the best available. It is not my favorite because of the spiciness but I highly recommend it anyway.

*Edited after over a year of enjoying. I'm on my second bottle.
Enjoyed at 4:1, both with and without sugar.

Color was clear, natural and just the right shade of peridot, yellows and golds flashed at the facets of my glass like a gem. At 4:1 louche color was just the right shade of light green.

Louche had lovely thick slow trails giving way to wisps of smoke, then slow tendril-like clouds from the bottom up, with a clear defined layer. enjoyable and dramatic. The final louche was opalescent and a great light greenish-white.

Aroma was fresh and clean. As water is added, the wormwood and herbal elements become more clear. A promising aroma, and I couldn't wait to taste it.

Flavor is balanced and delicious. Anise and fennel with a lightly minty, floral wormwood . I enjoyed its light peppery spice and slight citrus tang...very yummy. It has quite a bit of perfume, which some will love, others not.

The finish was really nice; it starts with a spicy pinch on the tongue and roof of the mouth, and builds nicely. Assertive, but elegant. Complex herbals, spice and citrus fading to powder and distinct fennel.

This is a focused absinthe statement, and a good one. I would like to always have a bottle on hand.

A nice natural green color. A very nice louche that builds from the botom and becomes opaque. The aroma is full and pleasant. A nice dry spiciness of fennel, wormwood and a citrus flavor.

A crisp, dry, citrus finish makes this a wonderful absinthe!
