A very light pale straw color. Menthol, lemon, cooked agave, anise seed, fennel, fresh mint, pine, orange oil, dill, baby diaper, and licorice aromas. Almost like a very dry, clean, and low-proof absinthe.
On the palate it's buttery soft with sweet menthol, fresh mint, herbs, orange peel, a bit of vanilla, and a whisper of cinnamon. The finish is loads of caraway, fennel, and orange blossom reminiscent somewhat of a refined and delicate aquavit.
I have to admit, I didn't really enjoy this when I first opened it. It definitely lacks the intensity and minerality of the blanco. However, after avoiding it for a while, it seems to have pulled itself together. Would definitely like to see a higher-proof version as it is so light and delicate. Not on the same level as the blanco, but unique and worth trying at this price point if you enjoy herbaceous spirits.
