In the UK it is only legal with reduced wormwood content. Most of the Absinthe bought over the bar is just cheep oils and not distilled.

I have a bottle of clear white Absinthe with full wormwood content in the drinks cabinet waiting for a special occasion.

No idea. It's freely available (the good stuff) in Spain.

Similiar situation in ireland, the strongest you can get is 70-odd-%, but it's nasty.

Ah, I remember the last night of a run, the cast party, with a bottle of 95. Insane :)

Absinthe has been made, ahem, illegally in Switzerland until the law was changed in 2005 and is now made in the Val-de-Travers region where it is said to have originated. Never tried it myself.

Oh my God, I once had it! I use the rest as a iodine replacement and wound disinfectant, to dissolves varnishes and glues, and to clean the gaps between the tiles in my bathroom. :lol:

Dalwhinnie is Scottish and Jameston 1780 is Irish enough for me...

Everything else is just not the real thing
