The original is available via Leif Rogers – and we understand that he will also produce a limited edition of signed prints. Watch out for his “Absinthe Collection – Fall 2007″ which will also include “Absinthe Dreams” – currently sold out – and his original “Absinthe” in a strictly limited edition of 100 high quality prints signed by the artist.
I really like this one! Much more affordable than Century, my all-time favourite, but still very, very good. Maktub is the party spirit from the jazz age with a clean, fresh taste and plenty of buzz. Recommended.
Perhaps the only fault of Doubs Mystique is its relatively low thujone content -- so don't expect to dance with the Fairy :-) But if you drink absinthe for the taste alone, you will not be disappointed.
I confess. Yes, Absinthium 1792 is a rather cheap, artificially coloured oil mix, but I still like the taste and do drink it from time to time. Louches nicely, which is not at all usual for an absinthe of this class.

Is there any significance in the red cross on the bottle’s label?

I just checked, and it’s true to the original – a red cross…I do not know about the design itself, but it seems rather Celtic (is that right?)…there is a helmet with wings…maybe Norse?

I’ve taken out one of my saved empties to analyze…
I don’t think the helmet has wings. It looks to me more like stalks of some plant…
There’s some words underneath the helmet that I can’t read (it’s small and I don’t have a magnifying glass) but it appears to be a motto of some sort.

Just read it, it states:
Create your own reality.
