Background: Ouzo is an anise-flavoured Greek liqueur. Metaxa Ouzo appears to be fairly well regarded, and is very widely available.
Nose: Strongly anise, with a nutty background.
Taste: Smooth, medium sweetness, with a strong anise flavour. Long, oily finish.
(After dilution)
Nose: Still anise. Maybe a bit of lemon.
Taste: The same. Bitterness in the background.
Overall: Fairly nice. Very smooth drinking, not a lot of depth. Only get this if you like the taste of anise.
