COLOR BEFORE WATER 3/10
Colour is a very artificial bright green, but it looks nice. I have to deduct points for it looking artificial though.
LOUCHE ACTION 4/10
A decent louche as you would expect from most quality distilled absinthes. Too much green is still present though.
COLOR AFTER WATER 4/10
Cloudy green opaque.
AROMA 26/30
Very nice aroma that is different than most absinthes. You can definitely smell the anise and usual absinthe ingredients but there are also alot of other herbs/spices that come out especially after the louche. I believe these are definitely the Australian native herbs and botanicals. Very nice.
MOUTH-FEEL 7/10
Nice mouth feel. Nothing great but it is nice.
TASTE 17/20
Very nice complex taste with a bitter finish. Quite different again from most absinthes that I have had but it is very unique and nice.
OVERALL IMPRESSION 7/10
I think this is a very decent absinthe that I will buy again. Very unique.
