Starting as green-tinged gold, this louches to opal touched with pale green. The mild fragrance shows fennel and a hint of juniper. Although the alcohol level is comparable to other absinthes, it seems to require more dilution to tone down the alcohol heat and tease out a faint sweetness. Even so, it retains a relatively spicy profile, showing fennel, black pepper and hot cinnamon, plus a lingering licorice note at the back of the palate.
