La Fee Parisienne Absinthe

Some would call this absinthe "boring", in that when one thinks of absinthe, the first thing to pop into mind is this. Wormwood and anise, front and centre. Not like, say, St George (American absinthe) or Hendricks. But what some people call boring, I call deeply traditional, and the tradition is pursued to excellence. A very solid eight, maybe a nine.

A wonderful absinthe to start on: a fairly sweet flavour when prepared properly and also fun! 5 stars!

Banging drink – super delicious and lasts ages.

People need to do some research. Thujone is not toxic. If it is, then all that sage you eat on Thanksgiving should have wiped out America long ago as sage also contains large amounts of thujone. Also, this is my favorite absinthe as it's a good quality for the price.

Okay . . . . bought it as my first absinthe. First "real" absinthe, anyway. It is exactly what you would expect. Strong. Don't drink it neat. It's pretty stout for that. Put enough ice-cold water through the sugar cube to get the 'loache' effect, completely opaque but quite adding water before the drink turns completely white. Pretty weak by then. Now I will have to try some of the other, just to make sure.
