This absinthe is distinct from others in the Jade line but not as out in the periphery as Jade NO as it has a much more traditional profile. One aspect which stands out to me is the initial bite present... which then slowly and completely mellows into something much more balanced. It's quite good and the "travelling" aspect of the flavours swinging from this initial sharpness to a delicious calming fullness and back again with another sip is quite an achievement. A wonderful absinthe!
