Tasting notes for Walpurgisnacht
May. 1st, 2002 09:44 amSince I am an alcoholic E-reporter I decided to use
this scene to publish some notes as well in form
of diary.
If strong stylish alcoholic beverages intrigue
you, continue.
Staroplzenecky Absinth, made by L'OR SPECIAL DRINKS Ltd.,
Czech Republic.
Ingredients: wormwood, star anise, grain alcohol, sugar, springwater.
20cl bottle 70% alc. vol. for 299 Czech crowns (~ $7)
Color - light green.
Diluted in proportion 1 part of water to 2 parts of absinth, by pouring
water over bricks of sugar in a holed spoon. A small brick of sugar is
added into the glass. Diluted drink received milky streaks which
disappeared later.
Glassware: standard russian small (5cl) vodka shot glass (stopka).
Nose: very catnip-like. Iodine, pharmacy all over.
Taste: magnificent combination of utter bitterness (wormwood) with the
added sugar. The dilution helped to release the sweet notes. Cocoa,
mustard, very sharp drink. Very weird, very devilish.
