As I mentioned in the main profile, I am a chaser of The Green Fairie.
Absinthe.
If you visit my main Gothic-Iowegian.Com site you'll find a page devoted to it on my site map, but I wanted to share a bit with any of you who are thinking of trying some.
1st...it IS a taste you have to grow into.
2nd.....the fun of it is the effect, not the taste.
3rd...unless you get some w/out Anise, expect a heavy clove/licorace/minty taste.
4th... if you get some with Anise, do the "Louche" and the carmelized flaming sugar cube.....you'll like it better :)
5th.....true Absinthe with original WormWood cannot be sold or legally imported into the USA.
*there are places in the USA which claim they are selling true Absinthe but to my knowledge these are non-wormwood versions.
*about as fullfilling as dry-humping
(pardon the visual)
*I'd suggest a place like Alandia.de that will air-courrier a package to you that by-passes customs and you should get it, no problem.
Final hint....get the "Le Bleu Clandestine"
