I must admit to being a bit of an absinthe drinker, in fact I have tried quite a bit from several countries. PLUID is (to me) absinthe, it is NOT black licorice.
PLUID is a darker fun "Slime" green color and I love it, best looking
juice in tanks (Glass Only) of any I've seen. The anise is more pronounced but the reduced 10mg version I have is said to be less intense than the standard mix.
There are so many absinthe blends with Star Anise as the core flavor for most, many varieties with different degrees of anise flavor in each, PLUID tastes like the Spanish " Absenta Deva" variety of absinthe. The anise flavor is a bit stronger but not so much that it overwhelms your senses.
My tongue is numb from the anise, just like absinthe, the aroma is anise but blended with citrus and herbal notes, just like absinthe with the only difference being PLUID is sweet on the palette to where absinthe is not.
Love it!
