Review and Tasting


Sampled on 04/07/2011

Appearance:

Crystal clear. Only a very faint cloudy louche with the addition of approx 20% water.

Aroma:

Clean nose is perhaps more aniseed than liquorice.

Taste:

Aniseed is also prominent on the slightly sweet liquorice palate.

Aftertaste:

The liquorice finish is dryer than the palate. Overall, more one dimensional and a less pronounced flavour than other ouzos sampled. We found the finish slightly unpleasant.
