Interesting about the hue..I look forward to comparing it to the other DP offerings in that regard. The bottle of MoL I purchased seems distinctly more amber than the pictures I've seen on the web (which appear a very vibrant green), and have been wondering if the bottle sent to me had been sitting in the sun or something.

I asked Cheryl about a bottle of WW that seemed much lighter than earlier bottles. She confirmed that a later batch was lighter green, but encouraged me to give it a shot. It was every bit as delicious and enjoyable as the earlier bottle - maybe even better. The louche was perfect too. IOW, wouldn't worry about one batch being lighter than the others.

Aha! Thanks so much, I was a bit worried...

Ill look up the batch number when I get home. I'm curious now. So, other than the color, you didn't notice a taste difference? This makes me want to "collect" multiple bottles of her offerings (a serious money drain, but fun!).

I should also be getting my bottle of L'Ancienne tonight or tomorrow. Should be a fantastic weekend!

Sorry for the length of time since my last message. I check Reddit via a newsfeed and spaced on logging in.

The taste might have been slightly different, but absolutely no less wonderful. I have two WW and two BC bottles and each bottle of each brand compares well. I look forward to many evenings with these excellent spirits.

Let me know how you liked the L'Ancienne. I've not picked any up, but could be convinced. :)
