Bad Points

its no absinth (stupid hype-products flooding the market)

General Comments

To start... the smell was alright but when mixed with water/sugar doesn't slouch at all (I am drinking the 70% version). Taste sucks at first, almost like pure medical alcohol, but softened, but after a few sips you seem to get a little bit of herbs... Missing the "thickness" it doesn't leave any taste on your buds, but its "OK" to drink. This is barely worth the money i spent on it tho.... better get the tabu or the jaques senaux, they're only a couple of bucks more, but are more the sensation I am looking for in an absinthe. Even the most pernod are better.
Conclusion:
If you can get this cheap, drink it, enjoy it and get drunk.
If you are looking for a decent absinth, go get something else, like the jade, this is no absinthe.
