Appearance: Golden hues with hints of green. Attractive.
Louche: Slightly thin, but appropriate.
Aroma: Floral and sweet with hints of underlying wormwood bitterness.
Flavor: Lights of anise. But the wormwood is very assertive. Drying and astringent. Crisp and bracing.
Finish: The wormwood lingers a bit longer than usual and overpowers the more delicate flavors and nuances.
Overall: an interesting look into what might have been available on US shelves alongside the imports. Age has surely helped this one to mellow out. Thanks to Joe Legate for allowing me to sample this interesting treat!
