I probably should be prefacing these before posting them, but this is a tasting from the archive. I felt like I should mention that in particular for this one because my opinion now is much less positive, unfortunately.
This digestif is a bit on the sweet side, but is not so sweet that it is unpalatable in any circumstances. Black licorice and a bit of salt hit immediately, but there is more depth than that. The flavor is rich with vanilla and some wood coming through. There is some fruitiness in here and the overall flavor definitely tastes funky, but there are no notes that induce gagging. It is a pleasant way to end an evening of drinking and should be stocked on every shelf for consumption 8n small quantities.
The most obvious comparison here is absinthe. It tastes like sweeter and less boozy and harsh absinthe with more of a rootbeer flavor. You won't get drunk on this nearly as quickly as on absinthe (though you will do well for the money, even compared with a cheap absinthe like Mata Hari) and you will consumed more added sugar (I assume). This digestif is clearly also a liqueur but it is clearly also good on its own. I would happily sip this.
