I received some of this essence from a gentleman who runs the site that sells it. The color is definitely artificial-looking, but not unattractive. A...
I was very happy to see the old Doubs completely overhauled. The color is a very nice peridot yellow-green. No visible sediment. ...
Color is a very appealing, natural looking light green. No sediment. Very bright. Not surprisingly, the louche is slow to form and is rather thin...
Hiram has done something wonderful here. I had the pleasure of tasting the prototype before the initial release at the Tales of the Cocktail event in July of 2007. I...
Updated review 10-3-09: Not much has changed other than the color is now a bit too dark for me and the louche is just way too thick, bringing...
A generous sample of this vintage Mexican absinthe was provided by a good friend. Much appreciated! Color is a light yellow with hints of fuille...
Bottom line: this absinthe is great. Color is a very attractive fuille morte which really reminds one more of a vintage brand than a currently...
Color: A nice, bright, clear absinthe Louche: Nice and thick with a great opalescence when done. It's not too quick to form, which lends another...
A sample was generously provided by a friend. The color is an artificial aquamarine. It reminds me of Scope. The addition of cold water via dripper...
This is one drink I'd not like to be reviewing. The color is really odd. When I first received the bottle it was a greenish blue. As I've...
Absinth Original was one of my first online purchases of absinth since moving back to the States. I'm very glad to say that my affair with the Original was short-lived....
This absinth is just as horrifying as their green offering. In fact, maybe moreso when you think about what the heavy red dye is doing to your insides. When I...
I got a sample of this from a foxy friend. The color isn't too bad, a nice peridot green, but it seems a bit artificial....
Upon first seeing the Reality in the glass without the addition of water, one can believe that they might be in for a nice experience. The color is an inviting...
The color needs major improvement. It's kind of a thin, urine yellow. Absolutely no louche to speak of. You get some trails, but the louche...
It's perfectly clear, so that gives it a 5. The louche is a bit too quick. It's not off-putting, but it's too quick to be...
Thanks to a big sky friend for sending a sample of this new release. A nice well rounded green, but a tad light for me....
A very nice offering from Duplais. Color is perfectly clear. No visible sediment. Louche forms very nicely with beautiful trails...
This bottle is 9 years old, and still is as red as the day I bought it. Color: It's Serpis. Need I say more? ...
Color: Unlike some bottles that I've seen with a yellow tinge to them, this bottle was clear and bright with no visible sediment. Louche: Very...
This was a decent blanche back when it first came out, but has fallen behind the curve of late, with so many high quality products making appearances. ...
Color: Thin and very light. Straw color. Louche: VERY slow to form, only beginning to appear after about two measures of water. It ends up...
Sonja was gracious enough to send me a sample of Sirene the week of its debut. I should have been more gracious in adding my review in a timely manner....
The color is too deep for me. Even my wife, who isn't into absinthe, mentioned that it didn't look like absinthe because it was too dark. It's attractive and enticing...
Thanks to MThuilli for making some of this offering available for sampling. The color is a deep amber with no visible sediment. A truly beautiful...
Color: I was very excited to see the new color of this absinthe. Obviously the coloration step was cut down dramatically, leading to a much cleaner, brighter, vibrant emerald green....
I was very excited to try this absinthe, having a soft spot in my heart for Spanish absentas. The newest version, which I received on 9/24/08 is a dramatic improvement...
