” THUJONE SUN ” stands for: A Grandious absinthe from jamaica

Thujone Sun - My new favourite absinthe

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.
