I saw some online information to the effect that the shop Vert d’Absinthe on rue d Ormesson in Paris has closed. Does anyone know whether this is true? Anywhere else with a good selection of absinthe in Paris?

Cheers!

So, I finally broke down and ordered a bottle of this. I will definitely be ordering more. It's a Jade, to be sure, but more intense and even medicinal (in a good, tonic sort of way) than their typical product. Reminds me of the Roquette in some respects, and also VdF (though more refined). Very good absinthe.

I've had several bottles of 1901 since I last posted in this thread...they've been pretty consistent in appearance, and all have been very good. It remains my favorite, though I am drinking Edouard as I write this.

Nothing particularly unusual about color variation in absinthe...I've occasionally encountered that dark brownish green in several brands.

JL 1901...nothing beats absinthe on a winter's night.

Getting ready for the blizzard...luckily I still have half a bottle of JL 1901 left!

Glad to see you are still at it...keep up the good work.

And more Edouard...

Thanks for the information...may just have to go old school in this instance.

Edouard is also very good...I remain partial to the 1901, but it's a very near thing.

Well, I have to say, I feel that I've learned a lot from this thread. Now, if only someone would tell me, who is that guy in the white hat?

Any U.S. distributors have this yet? Or is it still strictly Flying Monkeys?

So, how did it go? 1901 is one of the best absinthes available, btw...I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I would refrain from adding sugar, at least until I tried it without first.

Edouard.
