The distilled anise dominates the nose and palate at first. The mouthfeel is robust, yet offers a very elegant, rather creamy coating sensation and a lovely warmth due to the alcohol levels. Although anise seems to head, the rest of the natural aromatics?linden blossom, coriander, cardamom?bring in more complexity and finesse, thus create the perfect balance and enhance the food-friendly character. When water or ice is added, the crystal clear color gives its place to a rich, milky-white color without losing any of the aromas and flavors.
