Ah, Absinthe…keep away from my Precious. I have the following bottles I brought back from Europe over the last few years. I have wasted tons of money on crapsinthe, as well, experimenting so don’t be a schmuck like me. Do some research, and DON”T fall for the way overpriced internet prices.
I have listed my current inventory by preference.
Nouvelle-Orléans (Fr)
Edouard 72 (Fr)
La Fée (Fr)
Cami Toulouse Lautrec (Cz)
La Bleue (Suisse)
Mari Mayans (Sp)
Tunel (Sp)
Extase (Portugal)
Sebor Absinth (Cz)
Hill's (Cz)
Absinth King (Cz)

I always stash my absinthe in my wine samples I bring back with me, and luckily I have never had a problem. US Customs will seize the bottles, and you’ll get the dreaded flag on future International travel. I met Ted Breaux when I was at Vinexpo last year, and he is the true absinthe master. He was an excellent source of advice on what and where to purchase. If anyone wants the address to order pure wormwood extract, please pm me and I will give it to you. A couple drops in some Pastis makes a nice substitute.
L'absinthe vous fait un dieu
