What do reviewers say about Flâneur and Lakeside?
If you've been looking for absinthe that doesn't apologize for being absinthe, this is it. Some find the linden-absinthe pairing confrontational. That's the point.Flâneur
The opening isn't what it seems. Berry-bright and fruity, then something sharper underneath. The vetiver arrives fast and doesn't apologize. But give it an hour.Lakeside
