I didn’t have sugar cubes, so I used a little bit in a regular spoon. Upon opening just the bottle I was really stunned at the anise/licorice smell (duh, right) but I was surprised that it didn’t smell like alcohol considering it’s 63%. After pouring and mixing, the aroma only got stronger, almost to the point of being off-putting. The taste, however, was not nearly as strong as the aroma would suggest. Again, I don’t know what makes a ‘good absinthe’ but I imagine this would be a pretty good U.S. legal version. Nice and warm going down, despite being mixed almost 3:1 with cold water.
I took my time drinking it, and by the time I was done, the affects were hitting me pretty well. I hadn’t had anything else to drink all evening, and from just the one drink, I could feel it from head to toe and the tips of my fingers. Not exactly drunk or buzzed, (well, there must be a little of that) but relaxed and serene. I decided to end it at the one drink, but I imagine a second would really put me in a good frame of mind. I couldn’t imagine SIX!!
I may try 2 or 3 on a night where I don’t have to work the next day...
Thanks again to the TFP (specifically ShaniFaye) for opening my eyes to something new.
