To be honest I don't care if you believe me or not. But if you ever visit Balti Moldova let me know I will give you the address & tour of my Grand Fathers distillery.

Not everything you put in the still retains it's density at the same level and that's important & that's why filtering and initial density is important. I am not an export but even with some common sense you would understand.

This video is out of date. The ban on absinthe was lifted in 2007.

It's not bad but if you can, try his PF1901 or V.S. 1898!

but the strength of the wormwood is reduced an you have to drink a whole bottle in 20 min to even feel the effects

[pennvloger]

$50 a bottle?? if brought in the USA its a diluted bottle of piss! the wormwood content in US distillates is majorly reduced. ive paid over $100 for the best stuff you can buy in the states an its no difference in effect then the cheaper stuff except for the taste. the only way to drink true absinthe is to make it your self (witch is illegal) or go to France. my advice is.... go to France!

[Miguel Cuervo]

I need to find somewhere I can taste a glass of this stuff so I'll know if I like it before shelling out $50+ for a bottle.

Tried Breaux's Lucid a year or two ago - it was pretty good!

[Vorster Naude]

Is it the original absinthe which ban has been lifted or just the one that makes you drunk?

[elizzyness]

I work at The Old Absinthe House in New Orleans and always recommend Nouvelle as the best. Amazing Ted, thankyou for your years of research and love you put into that bottle!

The video's from 2006 bro. Obviously it's out of date.
