Members redrol Posted December 26, 2005 Members Posted December 26, 2005 Just so you guys know, real Absinthe tastes wonderful... like anise liquor. Forget the 'getting high' or tripping part because that part is bull{censored}. The reason the entire myth came about is before Absinthe became illegal, the cheap distillers were {censored}ing up big time, introducting toxic chemicals into the brew. Those did in face cause brain damage. But, good Absinthe tastes wonderful and basically is just alcohol.

Members Shadowalker Posted December 26, 2005 Members Posted December 26, 2005 So let's say that I had a friend who lived in France and was going to be coming back to the U.S. for a while. How much money should I be tossing her way for a bottle of true absinthe?
Members stringy Posted December 27, 2005 Members Posted December 27, 2005 CLICK ME!!!! One of my buddys has ordered from there multiple times and everything has gotten through customs. Good website, good selection. Do your research though, they sell alot of crap along with the good stuff.

Members SteveVHT Posted December 27, 2005 Members Posted December 27, 2005 Who wants to tell me where to get some...????Please...:D:D:D:DSteve

Please... :D:D:D:D Steve Stringy just did I got the Alandia Strong 68 from them, and I have to say it's pretty nice. Got a nice buzz out of it, yeah it does feel different from the normal alcohol, but it is subtle. The louche is great, that's all part of the magic
Members Shadowalker Posted December 27, 2005 Members Posted December 27, 2005 Anyone from the United States have any problems ordering this stuff?
Members RebelShredmojo Posted December 27, 2005 Members Posted December 27, 2005 Andy from absinth24.net is awesome! One thing no one has mentioned. high thujone Absinthes usually are just gimmicks. the "Effect" isnt really different. Its the combination of thujone with the other herbs in the drink..So having a quality distilled liqour is better ALot of the Czech ones are made from an oil too from what I understand.. Kinda like those "make your own ABsinthe with vodka!!" kits. Real Jagermiester has thujone in it too, its not sold in the U.S. but you can order it through Andy's site
Members edeltorus Posted December 27, 2005 Members Posted December 27, 2005 It's my favorite drink.I like it with flamed sugar cube, or with ice and water.. No pure for me. Thanks. I tried it once by accident, and I almost spilled a full mouth full over me.Besides that, the thujon does something. I never hallucinated and I drunk lots of that stuff. It kicks different than other spirits, you'll become very active, awake and get into a good mood. (Word of warning: It will take a bitter end if you had 3 or 4 strong absinth and change to a different drink!)My favorite one is the czech hills. I also had a czech 35mg absinth called Neurotoxin. Great stuff, great taste. I was a bit sceptic at first as the bottle looked like a turist rip-off.And just for the record, these are my favorite absinth brands that I can buy locally. (The tequilla in the middle is for the guests )
Members nakedzen Posted December 27, 2005 Members Posted December 27, 2005 For those who want to experiment: Fill tall glass with ice Add 2cl of absinthe 2 cl of apple liquer Teaspoon of lemon juice Fill the glass with apple juice

Members feintguitarist Posted December 28, 2005 Members Posted December 28, 2005 AbsintheOnline Check out the Suisse La Bleue's...The real La Bleue's fetch high prices. I noticed on Absinthe Online they have Clandestine La Bleue which is supposed to be the same. The White Fairy I have is supposed to be 'really close", but it's out of stock. $66/bottle for the WhiteFairy before you add the decently high shipping and handling.. Clandestine La Bleue ..some more good stuff
