At that strength the colour is accurate, greenish and deep enough. Louche is very gradual, very slow and doesn't reach the full opacity, maybe the herb-bill is...
The colour is too pale, although there were pics of a batches where it was quite nice green. Louche is alright. However, the aroma is very flat,...
Color: The pics show an olive green goodie that I would definitely score highly, the one I have is pale green. What is going on? Louche:...
Pacifique Color: limey green, assuming its low strength its initial beauty has survived the dilution. Louche: really spectacular, haven’t seen such a beautiful louche...
Although I consider Martin absinthes to rank among the finest of Les Valotes, that one is a disappointment. The first flaw is the inproportionate ratio of herb-bill...
Colour is beautiful and flawless. Sadly, L'Italienne belongs to small minority of absinthes being so properly coloured and having such a traditional tinge. It contains enough of...
Before I write the review I have to admit I have had two Promethee, one that was not released commercially and the other that I am reviewing now. I won’t...
Colour: perfectly clear. Louche: similar as in verte but quicker and more spectacular. Aroma: Roman chamomile, wormwood, very, very herbal, pleasant and...
Although I prefer Helfrich blanche more than verte I like visiting the old friend from time to time. Colour: the bottle Serge sent me was from...
Colour: pleasant to look at, striving towards Duplais’ jaune, could be darker or getting amber. Louche: decent, slowly-forming but ends up too chalky and whitish. ...

I remember I was astonished when it appeared on the shelves and the very day of its launch I have bought it-note, the price back then was not very inviting;...
As probably everyone else I was very curious and afraid of trying that absinthe (yeah, absinthe, not absinth) which hails from Czech Republic. And what can I say? I am...
Stromu is better when compared with Hill's. Here I would end that review. However, let's start from the beginning, colour is more on the greener than on...
The pioneer of absinths. It was the only thing I could get in the 90's. After so many years, I have opened the last bottle I left for decoration (a...
The version I have had was sans sucre, so in a sense the closest to what should be understood under the term of "anis". At a moderate...
Contemporary pastis makers who work for big CO enterprises are very often cutting corners and commit 7 modern Pastis' sins: 1.low quality alcohol is used, usually it...
The review of Belle Amie 2: Have just finished the tasting of the new Belle Amie. First of all, apart from that cork issue, there is another...
Although I have not had the first edition of 1797, I have been told these two are like heaven and earth and so they are. However, if I am to...
