Appearance: Radioactive green. Definitely artificially colored. Authentic absinthe is naturally colored with herbs. Aroma: Unlouched, it smells mainly of strong alcohol. Slight aromas of anise....

This sucker advertised itself as having upwards of 250 mg/l of thujone when I got it. Surprisingly, now it's advertising itself as 20mg/l. I highly doubt that their...

I was gifted a bottle of this for review from the owner of Alandia. He knew the review wouldn't be pretty, but wanted an opinion nonetheless. I appreciate...

If you're buying this, you don't care about appearance, you aren't planning on louching it, you don't care about the flavor, and you certainly could care less about finish. ...

This 'make your own absinthe' kit arrives in a box packed with hemp straw, containing an empty bottle with a generic absinthe label attached, a funnel, and two vials filled...

Appearance: Neon green. There are also other color options available: none of them any better. Louche: Crazy thick, but the neon is toned down. ...

Appearance: totally fake. Not your run of the mill neon green, but still not appealing in any sense of the word. Louche: Surprisingly thin and flat....

Appearance, a nice deep green, but a bit hazy from the particulate. Louche: What's a louche? Barely even gets hazy. Aroma: Heavy...

If you see this on the shelves or online, avoid it at all costs. As the other reviewer below noted, this has absolutely no association with absinthe...

Color: Barrel aging has taken the vibrant peridot green of the original and toned it down a bit, without creating a full fuille morte effect. Inviting. Louche:...

Appearance: A wonderful fuille morte. If you didn't know, you would think it was cognac from across the room. No sediment. Jewel-like. Louche: Quick...
