The Characteristics

The basic characteristics of wormwood are the distinct smell and taste of wormwood; the other aromatic substances only add to its taste and smell. It has a characteristically brown to dark brown color due to the wormwood extract and other ingredients. It differentiates itself from other bitter liqueurs in the same category, mainly because of the uniquely bitter taste, the taste of wormwood, and the lower sugar content. Sugar is mainly used to soften the bitter taste. We make our own extract from wormwood leaves.

The Aroma Profile

The smell and taste of the wormwood extract is boldly expressed. It is harmonious, the aftertaste is pleasantly soft and crisp. Due to bitterness, sweetness, and freshness you get the umami taste experience with your first sip.
