I enjoyed this video, as i am an absinthe drinker, but it really does not have anything to do with the correct preparation of absinthe. Still an excellent video;
@MEpianist I'll take a stab at that question. I think most absinthes sold are very low quality. The stuff that Lance Winters is creating is of the highest quality. He started distilling it years before it became legal. The thujone is probably negligible. The concentrations are very low, probably too low to have any effect on your neurotransmitters. Analysis if pre ban absinthes often showed little or no thujone.
The effect is very real when you drink the good stuff.
@MEpianist Some morons also claim that all cognac are fake under $150 a bottle. Similar kind of igrorance. Thujone is hyped artificially, and back in the 19th century, no one gave a F about thujone content. Some old absinthes hadn't got any more than U.S. maximum, since – great secret follows – most of the thujone doesn't make it through proper distillation.
i passed my fork lift licence after drinkin a bottle of sebor absinth.. i had attempted the test 3 times sober and failed so the 4 test i just thought fuck it and got on absinth, then passed!
lol...i could say the same thing this guy does about smoking, gettin fucked up on weed...lol, i could easily....this dude just really likes absinthe, not that it's a bad thing..jus don't be too enthralled.
interesting guy. he comes across as sincere, intelligent, sure of himself but not rushed, and even caring. someone most people could easily open up and talk to. Bartender SWAG.
If you guys want to drink absinthe for the feeling I recommend Brut d' Alambic, I'll tell you right now, It does not have a great taste, but what does at 163 Proof.
What brand of Absinthe would you recommend? And correct me if I'm wrong, but a slow drip of cool water is all that is needed to complete the "ritual"?
@Gubru As of today, my favorite brand is Kubler, which is a blanche absinthe. However, unless you live in Quebec, absinthe can not be shipped to Canada.
In any case, yes, a slow drip of ice cold water is all that is needed to complete the ritual. You can add the water over a sugar cube placed on an absinthe spoon, but that is optional and entirely up to the drinker.
@tsibaenapeos Green absinthe can be obtained without artificial colorants, because it is the chlorophyll the one that gives the green color; or, you can eliminate it, and then you have clear (blanche) absinthe. Any other coloration is artificially made with dyes. Many absintheurs consider artificially colored absinthe to be of inferior quality. If you see a neon green absinthe then it is artificially colored too.
What a liar unionrdr is. No arsenic used with absinthe. There is still a lot of myths and bullshit people make up. What get you messed up with absinthe is it's high alcohol content. It is traditionally drank by mixing with water (sugar is optional if you like it sweeter) which makes it cloudy, called louche.
IMO,the "apt descriptor" you mention is what we used to call a "body buzz",since it's absorbed through the stomach,rather than the lungs. And what that guy found was,pre-ban,was 200PPM,the modern being 10-15PPM. I read it too. In other words,a lot more psycho-active. Therajones produce a hallucinogenic experience do to their toxicity. Like magic mushrooms & arsenic that occurs in them naturally. Just read James Mabricks diary for a description of an arsenic addict.
@unionrdr Also what people don't understand is that they also use to drip Arsenic on the sugar cube before you light it. I have tried it this way with Absinthe from Progue. I'm not sure of the PPM levels but I know it was very high plus with the Arsenic (Do not try this it can kill you) was very intense. I didn't remember anything for two days....
yeah, no doubt you can deffinately focus and think very clearly on absinthe even at drunk stages (only about 3 or 4 servings/oz) speaking of, i was pretty drunk last night at a bar in town drinking absinthe but i could hold a somewhat "sober" concentration.i also find the effect to be almost dreamlike and of course you get the giggles too. haha! i absolutely love absinthe. flavor wise, (ive been drinking mansinthe)it is so unique and has so much character, smells included.its truly remarkable!
I drank it in the states before it was made legal again. I think the fact that it was illegal added to the mystery and the enjoyment of the drink. I would rather it still was illegal that way I felt like I was doing something wrong when I drank it.
@weemann45 you nailed it on the head. this guys beard actually made me decide i will one day shave my head and grow a beard and look nothing like i once did.
I've been over the legal drinking age for years now , Bud. I wish i could say i wasn't of legal age. I've tried many varieties of Absinthe, including the one blended up from St. George spirits/ Hangar One in Cali after i completed bootcamp back in the day. So before you try to sound all intelligent, atleast know who the hell you are talking to, bud.
@USMCddSemperFi hey buddy, by years do you mean 2 years? Bootcamp back in the day? are you trying to be tough over the net? that's cool anyway, it really is good shit like your first comment when you're drinking chick drinks in cali.
@thatcutehughes 2 months later? really? your name says enough "bud". your attempt was extremely weak and i can't understand why you would even post that. Joke really is on you. Save your embarrassment and shut your fucking trap.
La fees is not a great absinthe but I would say a great started absinthe. until you devlope your palet dont go out buying expesive bottels just yet. Absinthe is like a rose to a un edjucated eye they all look beautiful, but in the case of this drink it more complex than hype it comes down to aromas and taste there is many levels of rating a absinthe from first open to letting it breath to the method of dripping and sugar or no sugar many absinthes out there are crap and should be about 19 bucks
I just got a bottle of la fee from france cannot wait to try it excellent video your not an uneducated moron like everybody else's explanations on youtube. 10/10
He is drinking absinthe from St. George Spirits distillery in
Alameda, CA. You can purchase it at the distillery or you can go to their website and find links to online liquor stores that sell and ship it. I got mine from Drink Up NY and the service and price were excellent. The absinthe itself is very good. I mix a little ice cold water and sugar in it and it is not only quite palatable but gives a really nice buzz, plus there is the cachet of drinking something formerly forbidden. Good luck..
very nice.. explanation. btw lucid is a crap absinthe, you need the actual European absinthe for the thujone level. but you can buy it online from Europe.
@Ara7ius Lucid is european absinthe, it is distilled in France, and made by the same man who produces the best absinthe on the market, so figure out your facts my son.
I have only tried the Lucid brand, and I have been studying this stuff like crazy. I am sure I would like a superior brand, because this stuff I am drinking is considered inferior by many.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dudeeeee absinthe did make u trip out! my dad although he usally talks bullshit this MAYBE true cause hes swiss and absinthe comes from swiserland uhm he said its made from wood and long time ago there was worms in the wood and the worms have toxic and shit and the worms made u trip out.. but it also can make u blind .. now the absinthe are like clean with no wood worms so u wont be able to trip out with the new stuff :)
LOL im sure ur aloud 1 beer infront of ur mum? my mum lets some SOME times.. i drink when i go clubbing really... or just with friends.. lke vodka or whiskey.. i use to just drink beer and then stoped beacause it was too expensicve.. where i live.. i can buy 350 ml of vodka for like 4 usd and whiskey for the same price.. but when i drink whiskey i use the expensive brands. :S i cant handle cheap whiskey
eat before drinking ...and best advice drinking a lopt of fucking alcohol and puke everything you can ...that's how most of us hold our liquor(or spirit)
No. The effect of absinthe is high exagerated, and the only thing you might experience is a bit of a freshness and more clearheaded feel than with other alcohols. And the make your own absinthe kits are to be avoided like plague
Can you get the same effects from the absinthe essence you put into home distilled alcohol? so long as the alcohol percentage is the same as real absinthe?
I dont have knowlege of absinthe or any other drinks tbh i just like to drink lol it was black absinthe from spain! I take it thats very poor quality lol
i hate Liquorice with a passion which put me off jaguarmister and absinthe but u just gotta keep trying absinthe, my first shot of it was horrible but now it taste so good...i still hate Liquorice tho lol, when i go out and the bar sells absinthe i do a shot of it then do a jaguarbomb as a chaser...wait a few minutes and u'll feel it kick
i havnt found a bar in australia that does the proper absinthe drink u can only get the shot and thats hard enough to fin, only found 4 places that do the shot and i dont think its the proper stuff anyway
can you buy bottles o absinthe in a liquor store in australia? if so, buy any absinthe that comes from spain or france. or else buy Lucid if possible, and do the absinthe ritual yourself. its worth the money
Liquorice, and especially black liquorice, is just absolutely digusting to me. It is so vile and wretched I just can't stand to even smell for very long. Gross. However, I would really like to try a good quality absinthe. Even just to sip a tiny bit of it just to know what it actually tastes like. Plus, I think my sister would shame me to death if I didn't at least try it.
Black licorice is something that anise can be compared to, but it's not the same thing. A good absinthe has an interplay several different flavors. Once you've really opened yourself up to it you'll find that it doesn't taste like licorice.
I don't what anise is, but I'm sure that absinthe, even really bad absinthe doesn't just taste like black liquorice. I've just always heard that the 'basic' taste of it is very much like black liquorice. But if it just tasted like black liquorice, I seriously dout that it would have remained so popular and intriguing for so long. So, I'm sure it's more complex than that. I doubt I'd be able to enjoy it if it tasted even a tiny bit like black liquorice, but I'd still like to try it.
Its the St. George Spirits brand, don't know the exact name, but its distilled by St. George Spirts. I'm no absinth expert, but I've heard good things about the verte variety produced by pacific distillery.
lol...you didn't understand. I'm not being egocentric (not everyone on Youtube is). I'm just sayn' that no one arround the world (unless you are a 60 year old CEO) drinks it prepared. It's just strange how most people say: "they drink it like that in Europe" but...no one does
What does it taste like? I saw a show once, the Host drank Absinthe and he did not liked it... But he prepared it differently. Do they still made it with Wormwood?
i've tried it myself, like the other's have said there's a hint of fennel. it burns your mouth though (though that was possibly just the high alcohol content).
I am getting married in June and I thought about giving a glass of absinthe to all my guests (we're 70),now I'm wondering,since I never had Absinthe,can you :
1-prepare it in advance?
2-can people mix it with other type of alcohol? for example,they drink their Absinthe and then have a beer.
3-like I said I never prepared Absinthe and I am not sure if my guest,my husband or even I will like it,so can you make it in smaller portion,like tasting portions?
Since absinthe is a strong, relatively bitter liqour I think it should be drunk at the end of the evening, to not ruin the flavors of food or other drinks. Sort of like whiskey or cognac.
brilliant video. your obviously a very intellectual person. i am sick of my college butties choosing quantity over quality. keystone doesn't do it for me.
it sounds exactly what pot does, its a shame pot is illegal even though alcohal is even more unhealthy for you and dissorients you even more.. the government doesnt care what we want it's obvious
Well there is a lot of buzz about marijuana being legalized.
I actually think this is negative, because the government is going to insist on heavy regulations. They will do to marijuana what they did to tobacco. Strip out all the quality and load it with deadly chemicals.
Better than attempting to make government work in our interests, we should just abandon the idea all together. Enforced social order has proven to be unnecessary and destructive.
thanks for explaining a little about it. will be trying it wed. cant wait !

why would you do a shot of absinthe? such a waste. it's meant to be drank slowly, so you can savor each unique flavor

i havnt found a bar in australia that does the proper absinthe drink u can only get the shot and thats hard enough to fin, only found 4 places that do the shot and i dont think its the proper stuff anyway
Essassin00 2 years ago
can you buy bottles o absinthe in a liquor store in australia? if so, buy any absinthe that comes from spain or france. or else buy Lucid if possible, and do the absinthe ritual yourself. its worth the money
fretgod321 2 years ago
yeah u can quite hard to find but i kno a bottle o, yeah im gonna buy it when i get paid next nd try it the correct way

I know right?Why do people do shots?Sipping is more flavorful and safer.
crazywanch101 1 year ago
Liquorice, and especially black liquorice, is just absolutely digusting to me. It is so vile and wretched I just can't stand to even smell for very long. Gross. However, I would really like to try a good quality absinthe. Even just to sip a tiny bit of it just to know what it actually tastes like. Plus, I think my sister would shame me to death if I didn't at least try it.
Hydrophile44 2 years ago
Black licorice is something that anise can be compared to, but it's not the same thing. A good absinthe has an interplay several different flavors. Once you've really opened yourself up to it you'll find that it doesn't taste like licorice.
muckaxe 2 years ago 3
I don't what anise is, but I'm sure that absinthe, even really bad absinthe doesn't just taste like black liquorice. I've just always heard that the 'basic' taste of it is very much like black liquorice. But if it just tasted like black liquorice, I seriously dout that it would have remained so popular and intriguing for so long. So, I'm sure it's more complex than that. I doubt I'd be able to enjoy it if it tasted even a tiny bit like black liquorice, but I'd still like to try it.

Its the St. George Spirits brand, don't know the exact name, but its distilled by St. George Spirts. I'm no absinth expert, but I've heard good things about the verte variety produced by pacific distillery.

What does it taste like? I saw a show once, the Host drank Absinthe and he did not liked it... But he prepared it differently. Do they still made it with Wormwood?

well bohemian absinthe is a low anise absinthe and has subtle mint and fennel undertones

i've tried it myself, like the other's have said there's a hint of fennel. it burns your mouth though (though that was possibly just the high alcohol content).

Taboo is good. But I don't think SAQ is equipped to deal with a large order of absinthe.

I am getting married in June and I thought about giving a glass of absinthe to all my guests (we're 70),now I'm wondering,since I never had Absinthe,can you :
1-prepare it in advance?
2-can people mix it with other type of alcohol? for example,they drink their Absinthe and then have a beer.
3-like I said I never prepared Absinthe and I am not sure if my guest,my husband or even I will like it,so can you make it in smaller portion,like tasting portions?
XxBurlesquexX 2 years ago
Since absinthe is a strong, relatively bitter liqour I think it should be drunk at the end of the evening, to not ruin the flavors of food or other drinks. Sort of like whiskey or cognac.

Well there is a lot of buzz about marijuana being legalized.
I actually think this is negative, because the government is going to insist on heavy regulations. They will do to marijuana what they did to tobacco. Strip out all the quality and load it with deadly chemicals.
Better than attempting to make government work in our interests, we should just abandon the idea all together. Enforced social order has proven to be unnecessary and destructive.
The history of absinthe is evidence.
