WHICH ABSINTHE SHOULD I BUY?

To get started we recommend to buy our bestselling Absinthe Strong68. It is a
strong Absinthe, made according to a traditional recipe from the 19th century.
Distillation takes place in France (Europe) at a small-batch distillery from
1859. The wormwood for this Absinthe is locally grown at the fields of the
distillery. This guarantees authenticity and best quality. The color of Strong68
is naturally green, solely deriving from the coloring herbs. Maison ALANDIA is
our house brand. This original Absinthe has a very complex recipe and taste (it
is distilled with 16 herbs and spices) and comes with a classic alcohol
percentage of 68%. It is a very good Absinthe if you are looking for highest
quality and complexity. A popular Absinthe is as well Mansinthe, the official
brand of the artist Marilyn Manson or Hamlet Classic Green in a skull bottle.

The green Absinthes ALANDIA Verte and Absinthe Heritage Verte are as well a
recommended purchase. ALANDIA Verte is a very original Absinthe and its smooth
flavor profile makes it very suitable for beginners. Heritage Verte Absinthe has
the same alcoholic volume but uses an aromatic wine alcohol base, which gives
this delicious Green Fairy liquor a nice Cognac note in the finish. Overall we
have so many good Absinthes for sale, that you should take your time and browse
through our authentic selection of real Absinthes. Absinthe reviews written by
Absintheurs for Absintheurs are available for many brands. They will help you to
find the best Absinthe at the right price. Just check the detailed product
description pages and you will see the reviews. Of course, you can also consult
our bestseller list. We also recommend to buy original Absinthe accessories like
Absinthe Spoons, Absinthe Glasses and Absinthe Fountains while visiting our
online store. The right accessories add so much nostalgia and excitement to the
ritual. With them you will experience the Green Fairy the original way, enjoy
your journey!

WHAT IS ABSINTHE?

Absinthe can be described as a spirit of wormwood. Typically of green color,
with a high alcoholic strength of 50-68% (100-136 proof). You should not confuse
Absinthe with vermouth. The latter is not a distilled spirit, it is a wine-based
macerate made with herbs and spices including wormwood but no thujone. Real
Absinthe is different, it is a distilled liquor and contains thujone (read more
about Absinthe with thujone in our article). Besides artemisia absinthium, the
wormwood specie that is used for real Absinthe, the green spirit is made of
fennel and green aniseed. Other popular flavouring substances are lemon balm and
hyssop or even more natural ingredients such as calamus, angelica root, vanilla,
coriander, nutmeg and veronica. But the trio of wormwood, green anise and fennel
is almost a must in any ingredient list of true Absinthe recipes. These three
main ingredients are therefore as well responsible for the fresh taste of
Absinthe, while the other herbs and spices round off the drinking experience. If
you want to learn more about how to make Absinthe visit our Blog. 

Absinthe typically has a green color. But there are also the so called
"Blanches" or "La Bleues" for sale on the market. These Absinthes are clear in
color, as the coloration step after distillation is skipped. The result is a
very smooth taste as these liquors do not have the bitter compounds of the
coloring herbs in it. There are also Absinthes in different colors available for
sale. For example the black Absinthe Hamlet Hardcore. It is a modern
interpretation of the Green Fairy, as the wormwood liquor is often associated
with mystical worlds. But the real thing is still a green Absinthe with natural
coloration.


HOW DO I DRINK ABSINTHE?

The original way of drinking Absinthe is the so called "French Absinthe Ritual"
with water and sugar. It is the way how you should prepare your glass of
Absinthe. The focus of this preparation method is set on the “Louche”, the
change of color once the green spirit is mixed with ice cold water. Despite
popular belief, the original way of serving Absinthe does not include fire. The
“Fire Ritual” where a sugar cubes gets soaked with Absinthe and is lit up is not
historically authentic and we do not recommend it. In simple words, do not burn
your Absinthe. It destroys the fine flavor of the green spirit and is as well
quite dangerous. Following the recommended classic French Absinthe Ritual, you
start with pouring some Absinthe (30 ml / 1 oz) out of a water carafe or
Absinthe fountain into the glass. Then an Absinthe spoon with one or two sugar
cubes is placed on the rim and iced water is poured over the sugar into the
glass. The sugar cube dissolves, water blends with Absinthe and the green liquor
begins to louche in white sages. Your glass of Absinthe is prepared after adding
approx. 120 ml / 4 oz of water. In our Absinthe Ritual video you will notice,
that we pour as well some Absinthe over the sugar cube. You can do it as well,
it is a little trick. The sugar cube dissolves a little bit slower, when it is
soaked with Absinthe / alcohol.



 


WHY WAS ABSINTHE BANNED?

As you probably know, Absinthe (or Absynthe, an alternative spelling) was banned
at the beginning of the 20th century. Fortunately, since 1998 making, sale and
consumption of Absinthe in the European Union and a short time later in all
other countries of the world is legal again (as well in the US, imported
Absinthe and locally made brands). But what actually led to the ban of the Green
Fairy? There are some stubborn rumours about this, which is why we would like to
tell you the true reasons about the Absinthe ban.

At the beginning of the 20th century Absinthe and with it wormwood was
increasingly stigmatized as a drink that makes people crazy and violent. It was
assumed that excessive consumption of Absinthe led to mental confusion and even
hallucinations, which were caused by the nerve poison thujone contained in
wormwood. In high doses and over a longer period of time, irreversible nerve and
brain damage is the result. However, more recent studies of the 21st century
refute this harmful effect of drinking Absinthe. Rather, it is assumed that any
side effects that may occur when drinking some glasses of Absinthe can be
attributed mainly to the very high alcohol content of Absinthe of 45% to 74%. In
addition, the "cheap" Absinthe brands that were widespread at that time
contained toxic chemicals like methanol, copper sulfate and zinc sulfate. With
these chemicals Absinthe was often artificially coloured green, which was
cheaper and easier than using natural colouring herbs. But of course toxic.

The decisive factor for the negative propaganda that ultimately led to the ban
of Absinthe was a spectacular murder in 1905. Mr. Jean Lanfray, a Swiss farmer
with a severe alcohol problem, murdered his pregnant wife and his two little
daughters in an intoxication with alcohol. Horrified by the brutality of the
murders, a culprit was quickly found: The devilish liquor Absinthe! Because Mr.
Lanfray had drunk - beside various glasses of wine and cognac - as well a glass
of Absinthe. A welcomed information for the prohibitionists, now they had a
media-effective event, which justified their interests to forbid the
high-percentage alcoholic drink. The story seemed clear at first glance:
Absinthe makes you crazy. However, the farmer had already drunk a lot of (other)
alcohol that evening. This fact, however, was deliberately concealed in the
sense of an intended ban of the wormwood spirit. In addition, the wine industry
also advocated a ban. Their sales had declined strongly due to the phylloxera
that had invaded Europe, as the poor harvest led to an increase in the prices of
wine and cognac. The Absinthe producers were new competitors on the market,
whose one could get rid of by a prohibition of the drink comfortably. Therefore,
false research, economic interests as well as a general advance of the
prohibitionists were the real reasons for the ban of the Green Fairy.
