Not sure about Pernod really. Aniseed has always been on my 'not sure' list.
Severe accident with bottle. Could be problematic. (Top also difficult to remove - a sign perhaps?).
Smells very aniseedy. Hmm. Taste.
Bleugh. Perhaps I need to be drunker. Will return.
Time for gin.
Getting better a pouring. Not entirely confident that this is a good idea without mixers. Onwards.
Smells like gin. Good (or bad) start. Strange extra 'chemical' smell.
