That's exciting! I've always wanted to try absinthe. I can't wait for this to hit stores.

Every commercially bottled Absinthe I've had has paled compared to the various on the sly versions I've drank.

Absente has been around for a while. I suspect I've seen others in the U.S. too....

I've ordered a couple of bottles from a german retailer online and had no problem getting it through shipped through customs.

No need to wait.. Order from another country and have it shipped in.

I have a bottle of Doub's Absinthe waiting to be cracked open than I ordered from a store in the UK.

True, real Absinthe isn't that hard to come across. I ordered it online from a Czechoslovakian website. It came in the mail. I picked it up from the post office without any concerns or questions being asked. If you're going to do Absinthe correctly, make sure to order the spoon and sugar cubes too! Then you can take a shot that's lit on fire = )

Lets be honest. If they start selling it in the US again, it won't be as good as it used to be.

So many of you talk about it not being as good as it used to be, but honestly, are any of you old enough to actually know what it used to be?

Always wanted to try the real stuff,but where to get it online? Can it be ordered from Canada on the phone??

Some 47 years ago I enjoyed absinthe in Italy under the name of perno. It was yellow in color and tasted like anisetta, but it made your tongue and lips numb. Not bad.

Grand stuff, I've always ordered it online. I've got mixed feelings about this news. Now it will be easier to buy if you can just head on to the grocery store and buy it, but on the other hand, if they're only allowed to sell this 'low wormwood chemical' version, then I think its best to stick with buying online. Its never been proved that absinth/absinthe has any odd effect on anyone, anyone who has too much of any alcohol acts odd. So to this conditional ban appeal, I say 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.'

I feel kind of stupid asking this, because everyone seems to know about it...what is Absinthe????

Pernod is a modified form of pastis and has nothing to do with Absinthe

Can't wait. It has been years since I have had absinthe.

It's wonderful. My daughter brought back a bottle for the UK. I see nothing wrong with it.
