Tasting Notes:

A blend of brandy, Marc brandy, and grape neutral spirits from France, flavored with 3 varieties of anise seed.
Big and spicy anise nose with more of an earthy character than many anise seed spirits.
This comes across almost watery on the palate.
It is almost as if your tongue is numbed by this, and then the flavors hit you after.
More earthy anise flavor than many anise flavored products.
Okay but a bit thin.
