I haven't tried it because it was impossible to get in the US until very recently. It had been illegal here for many years. I would try it, though. I saw a tv show about its production, how they make it, and it was very interesting. Worth a try, if I ever see it for sale locally, I will try it. But I haven't even seen it around here for sale. I did recently buy a bottle of Vampire Wine, though, and it was very nice (pinot noir, but the vineyard is called Vampire). They have a website, vampire.com.

Nothing to see here, move along folks.

Hi every sisters and brothers of TOOA,


Yes, Manson is an Absintheur!

but not only...Now he has his own brand and it is really delicious!
far from a simple marketing product...

The name is Mansinthe and the alcool degrée is 66,6( :woohoo: )


Mes hommages.

T.

I know it has its origin in France. I've heard that once Van Gogh needed his fill of absinthe so badly (he was both mentally and phisically addicted I suppose) that he ate his colors. I myself love absinthe but I never \"met\" the fairy yet. Maybe I should try other brands. or maybe I should drink more :lol: yes, it does have a lot of alcohol, 70% is all I have had so far. To go just a bit off-topic, there are stronger drinks, ever tried that Stroh rum with 80% alcohol?

the thread of life lies severed on the brink of paradise.. .

There's the legend of the Green Fairy.. But never saw it.. :(

Already try the Green Absinthe (57º alcohol) and it's nice..
But never the dark Absinthe (80º or more)...

I really wish I could try it sometime. The only place I know you COULD get it was in New Orleans before the hurricane.

Meaning comes from within.

I tried Vampire when I was on holiday in the States a few years ago. It was really nice and my mum liked it, and she normally doesn't usually like red. I still have the cork somewhere...

Oh and everyone is making absinthe sound absolutely deadly! Hehe.
