Thank you for this video. Honestly, on a whim I bought one of the brands that "Took the anise character down" on the hype and just wanted to taste it and I liked it. Now I can't wait to try St. Georges. This video was very informative as to what makes a true Absinthe. You seem very passionate about creating this unique product. Must be nice to enjoy what you do every day. You are a very lucky man indeed.
I was given a bottle of St. George by my father over the weekend. He is a 'pastis' drinker, with Paul Ricard being his favorite, but found the St. George to be too much for him. It's sat in his cabinet for 3 years since he got it as a gift, and now it's mine. Can't wait to try it.
What is the green one with the "bullshit color" he's bagging on at the end?
@NeoTranshuman I think he's talking about Lucid since they were the first to import it. Could be wrong though. I think there are many others but he made it pretty clear it was the first brand to reenter the U.S. It is damn tasty but I can't wait to try St Georges now.
So, what was the brand he was referring to that "dumbed down" the flavor profile and anybody want to hazard a guess as to what he had to say about Manson's bit off-camera?
@soldier4God01 I wasn't trying to be rude or anything...I was just wondering why he would say that and perhaps you are right. It just didn't sound like sarcasm to me but I have been wrong more than once. Cheers
pls can somebody help me with the key ingredients ???star anise , wormwood,fennel,lemonbalm,meadosweet and .... (didnt understood the last part , after the meadosweet ...) help pls , im really curious
Absinthe's basic ingredients are known as "The Trinity". Aniseed, Fennel, and Wormwood.
Everything else is up to the distiller. In this case, St. George actually deviated from the traditional aniseed and went with the slightly different taste of star anise (which comes from China).

@AlphagraphicsCary You'll get there one day! Just practice being true to yourself, this man seems to be at peace with himself and keeps a creative spirit which not many people have.
Yea I brought it for hallucination..just further proof that history is so fucking subjective...gave that shit away and got some weed like everyone else should. Alcohol handicapped the Native Americans so alcohol sucks
im drinking my glass of st george right now... what are your thoughts on absinthe cocktails, as in mixing it with other drinks, etc? are you for it, against it, do you even care, or do you think that absinthe should be enjoyed just the way it is?
@sinokman i personally think st george is amazing. i just recently bought my 3rd bottle, and i can say ive tried many different absinthes and this one is not by far my fav, but my fav nevertheless. its tied at no.1 with mansinthe. why? i prefer mansinthe on overall general flavor and physical effects, and i prefer st. george because of its overall general flavor. its different than mansinthe, it has more character, has a nice sweet aroma, but still i like them both equally for different reasons.
@sinokman i would write more but im limited on space for leaving a comment. but with what i said in my other comment, it all remains true. i have never had 'true original authentic' absinthe or vintage since im new to absinthe. im not sure if i have a sophisticated pallet, but i know something good when i find it, and that has been true with just about everything i have tasted... so maybe i do have a sophisticated pallet. lol. im just a noob to absinthe tho, so its hard to say if im accurate
@furvert101 Im a linux/windows owner... what i was saying he could be *any product or brand* salesman and he would sell it.... y? I watched so many absinthe vids and this guy convinced me of buying a bottle... I like Mac too xD
@daxplil oh... ok then. i stand corrected... lol! yes absinthe is delicious, and i got a bottle of this stuff a couple nights ago, and i would have to say its really great!
Good video. I disagree with his choice of botanicals, but he's pretty genuine. I did notice that the plant he showed at 6:45 in the vid was not grand wormwood (A. absinthium) but, probably, A. "powis castle"
Of course, that's just a plant outside the shop for decoration. Oh, but really, star anise and no anise?

What a great video and a great product. To think this brewery has been in my backyard this whole time and I never new. Sounds like it is time to take a field trip.
If you want to retain the color certainly. Some makers want customers to be able to see that nice, attractive green color. Personally I would rather know that wonderful green color is going to stay that way though, so I prefer the dark bottles. This is my absolute only beef with the Delaware Phoenix absinthes. It's about as close to true peridot as you can find in a commercial absinthe, but it doesn't stay that way for long.
Nice to see a man who values, and promotes authenticity-genuine experience can only be appreciated with dedication to understanding what you are doing-this goes for Absinthe as much as music. Art, or Life.
My personal absinthe hangover was different just like the intoxication. It is what I imagine a weak dose of exstasy would be ( never done drugs.) All I know is that when I woke up I just wallowed around on my bed and the cool sheets felt so cool and smooth., Wonderful stuff.
In Mykonos, I was taught to pour water into my shot of oozo. It was delicious and the colour turned from clear to opalescent. That accompanied my breakfast of a small piece of bread and cheese, then I was off to the beach via boat! (I love Lance's absinthe-colored scarf.) Since I live in SF, I need to visit him!!!
@197anthony, Well bro, I have drank 3-4 louched drinks, with the proper measurements, and it was good enough. I hear that sugar cubes are not recommended for a good Absinthe. I have some from Germany, and it was not what I expected, but that is understandable. Folks tend to say you will have hallucinations, but that's a misnomer. Remember this, you need 30ml or 1 liquid ounce of Absinthe, and add 6 parts of ice cold water to it. Btw, we have a VERY close name ha! Good drinking man, and have fun!
Lucid isn't all that bad. Granted, I haven't tasted an absinthe with a cost in the triple digits, but Lucid seemed to me to be good for those curious about the drink.
as far as actual absinthes go, lucid is pretty bottom-of-the-barrel. However, it's distinguished among most liquor store offerings in that, unlike king of spirits or le tourment vert, it IS actual absinthe.
If you want to try absinthe but don't want to pay AS much, get lucid. If you want to try absinthe and want to shell out a chunk of money, I'd suggest ordering a bottle of Delaware Phoenix Meadow of Love, or PA Distillery's Vieux Carre.
Drinking absinthe is ONLY a BODY trip feeling! Kind of vibe-like & in-tune with things, but he's right : no hallucinations!
The way people would often add a hallucinogenic effect in the 1800's was by taking 4-5 drops of an opiate called Laudanum & they would drop it on a sugar cube on the absinthe spoon. Then they would light the absinthe with a match, absinthe's about 100 proof, they would replace the spoon with the sugar cube over top to melt. Once melted, it was dropped in, stirred & drank!
Laudanum was used with Absinth, as well as, whiskey! It's proven, documented & even played on the History Channel! Also, my aunt is Anne Woosley of the Arizona Historical Society. In my 28 years, I have visited her only about 100 times & of those 100 times, 50 of them must've been spent talking about Arizona history. I've also read numerous newspapers (1850-1910 or so) reporting on deaths from the concoctions
yeah, no. Fire and Absinthe were only ever associated after the 1990's, when Czech "Absinth" (actually Wormwood Vodka) distillers convinced people to burn sugar to disguise the absolutely terrible flavor of their product.
It's documented well in the towns Silver Springs, Kansas City, San Francisco & Tombstone that people used sugar & fire to mask the ANISE flavor from 1870 to about 1915! Not ONLY that, but the ONLY absinthe in the United States in the 1800's was FRENCH - NOT CZECH! Oh, and in the 1990's absinth was ILLEGAL in the United States! NOBODY was using sugar in ANY sort of absinth as it wasn't a popular drink here in the latter part of the 20th century!
documented well, eh? then why don't you provide said documentation that the fire ritual was EVER used before 1990. Because the Wormwood Society is easily one of the largest and most reputable sources of absinthe history and information in the world, and they've shown time and time again that the fire ritual did not exist before 1990 when Czech distilleries exploited a loophole to export faux-absinthe into the United Kingdom.
A better way of trippin out is joining the U.S. armed forces, being deployed over to Iran and joining my regiment. A little personal training by myself in the art of neck snappin and away we go!
I guarantee that the first mission we go on and you see how my years of experience on sneaking up stealthily behind a terrorists neck and taking hold of that rag covered worthless piece of donkey meat and twisting it until you hear snap will trip you out like nothing else. And then you try it and WOW
Exactly, this guy explains it to you in very understandable terms, and its very easy to comprehend what he says, I cant wait to order some Absinthe next month.
@abalas08 its cuz hes educated lol. unlike 90% of the people in this goddamn world, he cares about how he sounds. i cant stand when people have the attitude of "i do what i want." those people talk however they want and dont care about whether or not theyre saying the right things as long as they get their point across. people butcher the english language nd everyday theres something even worse than the day before.
I suppose an Absinthe distiller would be insulted if someone broke out a sugar cube before trying the Absinthe- like tossing salt on a gourmet dinner prepared by a master chef- good way to get pummeled with a meat tenderizer or stabbed repeatedly with a sugar cube holder (wouldn't do too much damage- but would leave a mark)
What i read is that the chemical thujone in the worm wood that makes absinthe unique is banned and to be FDA approved there cant be any in it. The impression I got is that while you can buy a bottle of booze that says absinthe on it in the USA its not the real deal.
you know... it didn't state anywhere in the video that it was made legal or if it was still illegal this video could have been mad years and yeaars ago
you know why i am using "such foul language" because an asshole like you had to go and get me pissed off about something so small i was having a great week untill you came along im going to block you because i can't have any more stress than i need for my show friday
Justin! I am sick of your fowl language, and your absolute lack of intelligent comment. You should be ashamed.
Now, leave the nice man alone and go play in traffic.
Damarei is obviously made of win and cast iron testicles, so leave him be, so that he can bask in his own awesome, or something else befitting a man of his standing.
Damn it to hell. I used the wrong 'foul'. I guess Justin's been using bird language, and I'm /still/ sick of it. I mean, seriously, what the hell, man.
you say im an unintelligent commenter whe he's the one who said, and i quote, "stop being fat" and a reply to the comment i gave after that "That's illegal"
if you are saying i'm the stupid one then you must not have been reading any of the comments he has been replying to me.

so you were the one calling me unintelligent? It took you a full month to come up with that fucking retarded comment? you must be THE slowest hinking person i have ever met...

Can anyone tell me if LUCID is any good? What should I buy thats on the shelves these days? Thanx!
billdiana 2 years ago
Lucid isn't all that bad. Granted, I haven't tasted an absinthe with a cost in the triple digits, but Lucid seemed to me to be good for those curious about the drink.
t800rad2 2 years ago
as far as actual absinthes go, lucid is pretty bottom-of-the-barrel. However, it's distinguished among most liquor store offerings in that, unlike king of spirits or le tourment vert, it IS actual absinthe.
If you want to try absinthe but don't want to pay AS much, get lucid. If you want to try absinthe and want to shell out a chunk of money, I'd suggest ordering a bottle of Delaware Phoenix Meadow of Love, or PA Distillery's Vieux Carre.

That's a good absinthe. It's like drinking a dream you had as a child.

Drinking absinthe is ONLY a BODY trip feeling! Kind of vibe-like & in-tune with things, but he's right : no hallucinations!
The way people would often add a hallucinogenic effect in the 1800's was by taking 4-5 drops of an opiate called Laudanum & they would drop it on a sugar cube on the absinthe spoon. Then they would light the absinthe with a match, absinthe's about 100 proof, they would replace the spoon with the sugar cube over top to melt. Once melted, it was dropped in, stirred & drank!

no they didnt
jbworkman 2 years ago
Yes they did!
Laudanum was used with Absinth, as well as, whiskey! It's proven, documented & even played on the History Channel! Also, my aunt is Anne Woosley of the Arizona Historical Society. In my 28 years, I have visited her only about 100 times & of those 100 times, 50 of them must've been spent talking about Arizona history. I've also read numerous newspapers (1850-1910 or so) reporting on deaths from the concoctions
Arizona is known for the
Wild West towns like Tucson & Tombstone!

yeah, no. Fire and Absinthe were only ever associated after the 1990's, when Czech "Absinth" (actually Wormwood Vodka) distillers convinced people to burn sugar to disguise the absolutely terrible flavor of their product.
IlStefan 2 years ago
Yeah..wrong!
It's documented well in the towns Silver Springs, Kansas City, San Francisco & Tombstone that people used sugar & fire to mask the ANISE flavor from 1870 to about 1915! Not ONLY that, but the ONLY absinthe in the United States in the 1800's was FRENCH - NOT CZECH! Oh, and in the 1990's absinth was ILLEGAL in the United States! NOBODY was using sugar in ANY sort of absinth as it wasn't a popular drink here in the latter part of the 20th century!
Get your facts straight buddy!
TimoJulz 2 years ago
documented well, eh? then why don't you provide said documentation that the fire ritual was EVER used before 1990. Because the Wormwood Society is easily one of the largest and most reputable sources of absinthe history and information in the world, and they've shown time and time again that the fire ritual did not exist before 1990 when Czech distilleries exploited a loophole to export faux-absinthe into the United Kingdom.
Absinthe was never burned until 1990.

A better way of trippin out is joining the U.S. armed forces, being deployed over to Iran and joining my regiment. A little personal training by myself in the art of neck snappin and away we go!
I guarantee that the first mission we go on and you see how my years of experience on sneaking up stealthily behind a terrorists neck and taking hold of that rag covered worthless piece of donkey meat and twisting it until you hear snap will trip you out like nothing else. And then you try it and WOW

@abalas08 its cuz hes educated lol. unlike 90% of the people in this goddamn world, he cares about how he sounds. i cant stand when people have the attitude of "i do what i want." those people talk however they want and dont care about whether or not theyre saying the right things as long as they get their point across. people butcher the english language nd everyday theres something even worse than the day before.

I suppose an Absinthe distiller would be insulted if someone broke out a sugar cube before trying the Absinthe- like tossing salt on a gourmet dinner prepared by a master chef- good way to get pummeled with a meat tenderizer or stabbed repeatedly with a sugar cube holder (wouldn't do too much damage- but would leave a mark)

What i read is that the chemical thujone in the worm wood that makes absinthe unique is banned and to be FDA approved there cant be any in it. The impression I got is that while you can buy a bottle of booze that says absinthe on it in the USA its not the real deal.
