We might remember how one Filterated Czeckerland Xit lover described the Absinthe N.S. 70:
"Once water is added the louche is a very thick cloud of golden green, and louches wonderfully and instantly. Also the anise nose practically disappears after water is added and it smells almost entirely of its other herbal constituents. Anise is strong but not in the tongue numbing sense of Mari or Deva. The bitterness is very slight and slides to the side of the pallet. A very bare hint of mint or lemon balm and possibly a tiny whiff of hyssop in the nose. I also noticed that after a number of sips again the anise slips into the background and the wormwood bitterness and mint become more prominent. The more pronounced flavor of this brand is perhaps due to its unusual (for Spanish brands) dryness, the lack of being overly sweetened lets it blossom a bit on its own. Very interesting and lovely."
