This is vile.

Purely in my opinion of course. Mythe Absinthe, France, standing at 69% was olive oil coloured to start with. Even after the first whiff upon opening the bottle, to the first try, to adding more water than any previous incarnation so far. Any and ALL flavours are overpowered beyond comprehension by this bitterness, that constantly grows when the glass leaves your lips, vile aftertaste doesn’t do it justice. No real, really thin, louche.

I’ve got it. You know when you spray an air freshener and you breath some in? Like it gets on your tongue. That kind of medicinal bitterness, mixed with lemon white zest (the bit you dont use) is what this drink is.
