It's been donkeys since I've tried Absinthe. The last times I remembered I was in University in a bar with a mate and we tried flaming it. Another time I bought a bottle to a party. Drank most of it and felt stoned. I was going to stay away from this given past experiences of it being artificial as s#$! but seeing the awards this thing won including best Australian Absinthe I thought why not. This stuff turned out to be quite good. Organic good quality ingredients hit the mark. Beautiful aniseed flavour with other subtle botanicals. From an 1800 swiss recipe which proves good things stand the test of time. I bought a bottle.
