Louche, is this something to be added to the glossary? What exactly would be your description of Louche folks? Dictionary defines it as something "Disreputable or sordid in a rakish or appealing way."

I'm sure I searched for louche and not Klunk ;D ;D
If I wanted patience, i'd have trained to be a doctor.

I understand it to be the cloudy effect that some clear spirit takes on when water is added.
Adding more spirit can make it clear again.
HTH.

I have always thought it was a gin thing.
But of course it can apply to all spirit.
