What I’m drinking…
Whenever I can get hold of it, I drink the ever so...
Hard to get and pricey, but definitely worth it. Not only does Century contain a massive amount of the all-important thujone, it is also one of the best-tasting absinthes I have ever had - a rare combination!

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.

It`s a lie, that it is available only in Russia. It is available in Germany at http://www.absinthe-dealer.com or http://www.absinth-oase.de , which let`s produce this absinthe in Czech.

A nicer way of putting it would have been to say it was an error!
Anyway, thank you for the correction – I have since seen it for sale in Prague as well.
What does it taste like? what is the thujone level?
Thanks for your comments, Absinthedrinker.

“what is the thujone level?”
Why it’s Extra Highest of course.

It looks very interesting – I would like to try some, but it is not commonly available – so thanks to Absinthedrinker for the tip
The colour is particularly good, a deep and powerful green.

the taste is herbal and deceptively smooth – you cannot believe its 70% alcohol. Add some sugar and yummy! Few seconds after you swallow the shot, you can feel your mind altering, and I do say it isnt like being drunk – different from 80% vodka for sure. For me, the effect is stimulant-like – youre totally messed up but feel kinda okay, so you’ll do more (whatever your vice is). Even 0,5l of this stuff is plenty.
