Here we have a very decent blanche in the typical French, not Swiss tradition. The product is clean, robust and herbaceous. The louche is slow-forming but getting...
A typical la bleue, having nothing to do with a first class les bleues, but being a some sort of clandestine absinthe one would get in the years 1940-1970. ...
La Fine series by Racine is a kind of mystery to me. I have had them for the very first at Boveresse and to tell...
I have been following the development of Butterfly since the time its creator called it simply AA-American absinthe. In comparison with the early prototypes and the unofficial...
Colour is just right, though artificial. Louche is too quick and too thick. aroma is chemical amd absinthe wrong. flavourless with hints of mint...
Time of seduction has come. I have been given the following absinthe upon my arrival in Switzerland. I had lotsa expectations, which failed. ...
I have had the opportunity of tasting 1st batch of that absinthe as well as the newest one that is not for sale so far. Colour is...
Thanks to the courtesy of Nico I have had the pleasure of reveling in that tipple. This is the orgy of wormwood, and very good one, almost...

colour: Lime green, not too neon, not undercoloured, indication of young absinthe. What to whine about? Walton Waters is darker warm green, cadmium green than Meadow of...
If you remember the beutifully deep and vibrant colour of the early Jadedouards, that batch, that rose so many controversies at FV, will be a great disappointment. It looks exactly...
