Default Absnith

Well, I ordered some absinth a while back from www.czechabsinth.com and is was fantastic. I was just wondering if anyone knew any other good site and/or good absinths to get, pref with a high wormwood content. The czechabsinth site was good, but since it came from the Czech Republic, it took a lil more than a month to come. Comon, I kno you Canadians know something

We got some from a buddy that goes to Czech all the time for work, it was like $12 for a 750ml bottle. It was alright, but I think the wormwood content was low, cuz I was drinking it straight and like 4 shots was barely noticeable. (140 proof btw). I know there are some locals in Minneapolis that make it (illegal), but supposidly it's got way more kick.

I don't have any better hookups, but I'll wish you luck in your quest

No more than normal drugs or alcohol, just watch the quantity.

The one i ordered was 120 proof, wormwood wasnt too high, I drank about 5 AA's and was gone, but noticable difference, but not a whole lot. BTW AA is absinth and aftershock
