I had the Premier Fils last night.
I don't have my notes on me so I'll post the score later, but to summarize, I think this beverage is an apparition of a great absinthe. I think age and other unknown factors have probably deteriorated it a bit, but I didn't think it tasted bad or wrong, which leads me to believe this absinthe was very non-traditional from the get-go and they eschewed anise for other more floral perfumy herbs. The palate to me seems like the intention was to create an outstanding alcoholic beverage that was a departure from the creamy anise based absinthe norm. It ain't no Pernod Fils or Edouard, but I still enjoyed it throroughly. The alcohol base was outstanding and could be considered a work of art on its own, even without the herbal accents. It is a lightweight in terms of mouthfeel, louche and other typical absinthe charcterstics though, so I can see why some weren't impressed. It almost seemed like an attempt to merge a high quality armagnac type liquor with some herbal traits common to absinthe. This post has been edited by Donnie Darko: Dec 25 2005, 02:10 AM |
