Whoops, made this while still playing VRchat and didnt take a photo before I louched it. Suprisingly I got another Jade in the calendar. Named Nouvelle-Orleans Verte standing at 68%. This one did not last long, I’m already down to like one gulp left in the glass. This one has a lot more going on than normal, a lot more complex but a little thinner, so a lot more drinkable. The aroma has something I cannot place, mix in with basil like anise, a spice mix like five spice. Taste is very refreshing, without a hint of mint, more clove like. With the strong anise and gentler wormwood, with a darker sugar like flavour too. Aftertaste is warming, spicy and clean. This one is very different to the other Jade absinthe’s and would have it again.

Finally another Jade! Jade V.S 1898 from France standing at 65%. This one has more of a bite to it. In aroma and taste. Like a jab of bitter herb before letting the other flavours take the stage. Wormwood is king for this one too, there’s a little anise, a spike of sweetness. I am also noticing a lot more of a numbing even prickly effect compared to others. Only a gentle warmth remains once the glass has reached the table. Will mention the classic peridot colour turns into a classic milky louche, a textbook absinthe. A very well done absinthe. Very balanced.
Got super happy when I saw the word Jade and It lived up to my expectations. Jade 1901 standing at 68% has quite the hit of liquorice, creamy liquorice, anise, herbs and a powerful freshness I cant place. Zesty as well. Oh and got excited so I added the water before I took a photo, it louched really quickly too by the way, but it had a proper cool peridot clear colour to it previously. It also leaves thick oily trails on the glass, insane texture, smooth and robust, which leads to feeling indulgent. The ending it oddly satisfying too, clingy but does not out stay its welcome, leaving you with a spirity warmth. A very good absinthe that ticks all the boxes.
