Reality absinthe isn't French...
The French are the only people that can make proper absinthe... (well and the French Swiss)...
La Fee make damn good absinthe...
While we're on the subject... if you like absinthe, get your mitts on some Irish Poteen......
also also.. how do you take your absinthe? every bar round here that sells it gives it you in a shot glass.. it annoys me! you're supposed to dilute it with water (and sugar if you wish)..... GRRRRR
that stuff that taz666 has suggested is from the Tunel coloured range,

Look good stuff m8, you know you want more
I can't find anywhere in the UK selling black absinthe 80 using google
My search must continue lol.
Posted by fatreg
that's because it's banned...
you won't track down 80% in the UK.. you might get some from the channel islands that will ship it to mainland...

Thought it might be
You know why it's banned m8?
Right...time to look abroad then
Posted by fatreg
it's only 80% etc..
afaik it's due to the fact it contains too much thujone.. has a bad effect on the body!

Stomach was on fire for a little!!!

only way to describe it is liquid liquorice...

yer agree with fatreg on that one, my mate thought i was being tight giving him a normal shot so he poured more in the glass and necked it ran outside and puked his guts up, its good stuff.
Posted by fatreg
I did that once...
a proper tumbler full of absinthe, mixed with sugar and necked it.. I literally fell asleep bent over a chair..
was already hammered or I wouldn't have wasted such a nice drink!

I don't think it's banned, couse I bought a proper 80% green one in Tesco about a year ago. I think it's used to be banned. There is also a shop around Paddington in London where you can buy many different ones!
Posted by fatreg
ahhy but London..
you can get 65% La Fee is Tesco....(I think)

Hey fool isnt this shit illegal in the uk?
Posted by ÈL ® ö B ì Ñ
I see many like it hehe
My mate done the same, ordered one, necked it...ran outside and was sick.
Thats when I went and got 1, and then another....my memory of the night ended there.....i got home, passed out into the door and knocked meself out.
That's how a good night end's
Posted by fatreg
mais non se_P800, absinthe is banned is France, Switzerland but not in the UK, well not the weaker stuff.. the stronger stuff might not be banned but you'd be dammed if I can find any!

I got my mate a bottle of this 3 years ago from Majorca. Like fatreg said, it is from the Tunel coloured range, but I thought the Black looked the best.
He has still got it my mate, but we were all made to sample it on New Years Eve,.

Hehe, you like it when you tried?
Posted by pmerryman
Wouldn't say liked it, but it has got one hell of a kick.
Posted by ÈL ® ö B ì Ñ
