North Tamborine, Queensland, AUSTRALIA
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen
ABV: 60%
Closure: Cork

This is reputedly Australia's first premium Absinthe - it was five times distilled from grapes and includes Elderflower, Gentian, Fennel seed, Hyssop and Wormwood in the mix.

Tasting notes: Pours a fluorescent emerald green. Opens a little soapy, followed by semi sweet scents of peppermint tea, cough lozenge and liquorice strap. Aeration draws out flashes of crushed eucalyptus leaf. A big anise focussed entry leads into a hot, prickly mid palate that numbs the lips and stuns the tongue. Anise and liquorice strap flavours emerge through the alcohol. Finishes dry, slightly bitter and liquorice like with the heat taking some time to dissipate. Needs water to balance. 60% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Emerald green color. Fennel, mint, and spicy bbq rub aromas with a supple dry full body and a complex potting soil, wormwood, fennel leaf, and nettle driven finish with lots of heat. Tasted Louched: Light hazy louche but water brings out menthol mint, charcoal, and spiced tropical fruit nuances. Engagingly different. Will make for unique cocktails.
