New absinthe is better for the wild willies
I remember once upon a time in gibralter a mate was extolling pernod and I made a bet that I could finish a bottle of bacardi 151 and he couldnt finish a bottle of pernod. Dont know who won that bet but I finished mine, heaving didnt count and that was one of the few times I have ever had a hangover. The next day us miscreants were read the riot act at captains mast and put over the side of the ship on scaffolding, on the sunny side and painted it with oil based paint. 80 plus degrees, no wind in the sun and warm brakish water to drink. Much puking overboard by all.
thanx,
bill

New Unfortunately, the recipe for real Absinthe was lost.
Due to an accidental oversight in EU law Absinthe is now legal in Europe and several manufacturers are attempting to put it back in production, but but most is rot gut.

Analyzing bottles of "pre-ban" absinthe did no good since nearly all fake.

An American chemist has come up with the best recipe (by a very wide margin, I hear) and believes it's the real stuff. He's having it manufactured in Europe because it's still illegal in the U.S. (though that is being worked on).
