Tasting Notes
This Aquavit is more like an ouzo and savory. Breakin' plates! Tasty, but need a story or food.
Strong anise flavor and mild sweetness. Reminiscent of a pastiche.
Drinks like absinthe-light. Heavy licorice. Almost one note. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not particularly complex.
BLACK licorice. Deep anise on the nose. Hits the tongue with the same feel as having just enjoyed a full box of Panda black licorice. Slightly numb, but delicious.
