” THUJONE SUN ” stands for: A Grandious absinthe from jamaica
I ever loved the Jamaican quality rum…
.. and now I love their Absinthe too
My friend made me a great gift from his holliday last week. A beauty bottle wormwood from Jamaica.
Yesterday I’ve tried this awesome drink called Thujone Sun. Very positive surprise ! This is an excellent kind of taste and color. In the bottle is a layer with selected wormwood herbs.
Here my personal results:
COLOR BEFORE WATER 9/10
Appears to be a somewhat deeper shade of green, being a most attractive medium / smooth peridot in tone.
LOUCHE ACTION 9/10
Very elegant, slow, and fantastic louche, swirling from the bottom up, and lovely to watch.
Mostly opaque, with a bit opalescence.
COLOR AFTER WATER 10/10
Retains a natural amount of the original green.
Atractive to see.
TASTE 19/20
This is the strongest aspect of this absinthe, a very nice harmony.
Its very clean, with a lovely wormwood / fennel / anise balance, coming in that order.
AROMA 28/30
Neat !
The aroma is very balanced, with no trace of funk.
No excess alcoholic heat, and a lovely perfumed fennel and anise is what I detect the most.
I dunno if a small proportion of grape spirit was used in the recipe, but I detect a bit of that in the nose, as well.
Louched, there is a complex herbal/bitter scent, which is extremely appetizing.
MOUTHFEEL 9/10
Rich with an unknown aromatic note, with a fresh texture.
A smooth bitter finish (caused by the herbs I think).
OVERALL IMPRESSION 10/10
This is a very beautifully made absinthe with sensible real quality.
I would most certainly not hesitate to buy Thujone Sun on a regular basis.
In fact, I would say it’s my favorite commercial release thus far.
TOTAL SCORE 94
I tried to order more, but its not easy to manage. The sellingrights owned by a company in Europe now.
So its seems to be hard to receive this into US.
