One of the first and very best absinthe sites out there is called "La Fee Verte". Anyway the site has the who's who of the absinthe producers and conosours on it. Their buyers guide is the bible for selecting something good.

If you want a good traditional tasting absinthe you want something made using distillation, (not maceration or soaking herbs, and not from extracts) then just select a brand with the highest rating number you can afford and it will be the best absinthe you can get. The site tells you how to order it, and everthing else you need to know.

Check out their main page too, the content is excellent.

Their Forum discussions are intresting and a few tiki topics have been posted there from time to time. In fact I once saw a thread once where the name for the "Taboo Cove" tiki bar was suggested, because the creative force behind it was an absinthe enthusiast as well as a tikiphile and was looking for names.
