Because I live on the Kentucky/Tennessee border I run into the same problem trying to get Absinthe, Macadamia Nut Liquor, or even a simple Chardonnay.

Both Tennessee and Kentucky prohibited with felony penalties the shipping of Alcoholic beverages directly to consumers. So until the distributors start carrying Absinthe, it will still be way hard to find in my neck of the woods. If you live in a state with similar restrictions you'll have to start harassing your local liquor stores to carry it. Even then the demand I'm sure will surpass the supply, keeping the prices high. Leave it to the States to limit ones ability to shop around, drive down competitive pricing, and drive up prices.

To see a rundown of why you can't order Absinthe, Macadamia Nut Liquor, or even a simple Chardonnay. on-line in your State go here:

If you think it's ridicules that you can't order your favorate Macadamia Nut Liquor or a simple Chardonnay even with an age check at delivery, go here and support:
