Absinthe Original Liquor Store is the only certified place where you can buy genuine Absinthe King of Spirits Gold with the maximum wormwood content.
Absinthe King of Spirits Gold with 100mg of thujone! The new, stylish bottle and label reflects its customers' current modern lifestyle. A major change for a label that has helped bring back absinthe to the new century.
Naturally, King of Spirits's exceptional and unmistakable taste, which comes out most distinctly when the drink is served with icy water, will never change. Absinthe King Gold is handmade according to an original, more than 200 years old Swiss absinthe recipe and it is free of all artificial colorings, additives and preservatives. All the essential ingredients and herbs are carefully selected and processed to ensure the unique taste of strong absinthe. The delicate process of maceration continues with the presence of herbs (the main herb being wormwood) in the bottle. This grande absinthe gives us a glimpse of what absinthe was like starting its first steps on the road to becoming the most popular drink in France.
This full-bodied handmade absinthe contains 100 mg/l of thujone! And that is the key. That was why this absinthe is Gold - 100 mg of wormwood thujone.
Absinthe King of Spirits Gold is made the old way from carefully selected herbs. 100mg of thujone makes Absinthe King of Spirits Gold as strong as the legitimate, real absinthes of the 19th century.
Absinthe King Gold is very rich in its herbal content and being 140 proof, also too powerful, therefore drinking it neat is not recommended. It is absolutely glorious when diluted by an unbroken stream of chilly water! Diluting absinthe is an artform, but you can learn all about it by checking out our absinthe dilution chart.

Did you know that...?
Foremost of the stimulants is thujone, the psychoactive chemical at the heart of the herb wormwood, which, along with anisette, gives absinthe its bitter, black liquorish taste. While once thought to instigate similar reactions as marijuana's THC, recent research suggests it modulates the neurotransmitter GABAA, which plays a vital role in cognitive thought. Subsequently, absinthe provides a level of clarity not usually associated with alcoholic drinks.
GREEN FAIRY RIGHT UP THERE WITH YETI & THE TOOTH FAIRY SAYS CONSUMER<br /> Well, I have to say that - thus far - I'm pretty disappointed. Perhaps the green fairy has retired. Maybe she's on strike. Perhaps I didn't allow for the time difference between Ontario and London or the Czech Republic. Whatever the reason, I have to say that the likes of the movie (so-called) epic of Moulin Rouge is dwindling into that area of classification reserved for not only the X-Files but also The Grinch.<br /> Being a past-connoisseur of recreational drugs, perhaps my expectations were already too high (forgive the pun). Let's face facts. Since getting into the house/hardcore music scene in the UK circa 1990 I've had probably more than my fair share of mind-altering substances. In fact, I did my illegal drugs in COMPLETELY the wrong order. I began with MDMA in 1990, progressed to that + amphetamine in the early 1990s, and by 2008 - as I write this review - have sampled cocaine, ketamine, and the fabled Canadian magic mushroom too.<br /> I didn't really smoke marijuana 'proper' until I arrived in Canada early 2005. However, I was still as keen as mustard to give the bohemian, legendary, folklore-ridden Absinthe a run for its money. Thus I purchased a bottle of the Absinthe Gold, with the highest possible content of, well, let's say "active ingredient". <br /> Perhaps my bloodstream has been pampered bu greater things. Maybe the leaky bottle I received this morning had allowed all the (what's it called?) Thujone to evaporate on its journey for what was once called Czechoslovakia. I'm not sure. However, what YOU need to know, dear potential consumer, is that so far I just feel drunk. Not high, not hallucinogenic, just plain old-fashioned, run-of-the-mill drunk.<br /> Let's take a step back for a moment.<br /> Website? Brilliant. Delivery? Swift. Packaging? Well, having worked in a warehouse when I was 16 ( some 21 years ago now) I have to say that this was lacking. When I opened the box that was delivered in less than the nine days I'd seen mentioned by other reviewers, I was flattered that my prized merchandise had arrived so quickly. However, on opening the box I was immediately struck by the Jagermeister-esque odour of herbs/alcohol/cough medicine.<br /> This is not a good sign when you're ordering something my mail order.<br /> Upon unpacking the bottle 'proper' it became apparent that the bottle had leaked in-transit. So, once I'd flicked away the polystyrene chips and nursed my precious cargo to the kitchen sink I had to douse the bottle - and the bubble wrap in which it was swathed - in good ol' Canadian tap water so that I didn't end up stuck to my merchandise like a fly to fly paper.<br /> When I tried to remove the cork, having removed the cellophane around it, the lid of the cork came off in my hand. So, I had to resort to a corkscrew just to be able to access my precious cargo. The contents looked serious enough though. Sinister green liquid, peculiar-looking brown sludge in the base of the bottle. Shame I had to funnel the whole lot into a cheap plastic, expended vodka bottle in order to ensure that nothing else evaporated before I could consume it. <br /> And then, the drinking.<br /> As I write, I am consuming my third glass of "Gold". I used, what I believe, is the Czech method. Pour a glass, get a teaspoon of sugar, dunk it in the Absinthe, set it on fire, and just before it looks like marshmallows-for-all, douse it in the liquid and extinguish the flames.<br /> Yup, did all that.<br /> Then, add ice and consume. Well, I did. Ice for the first generous portion. Ice and water for the second generous portion. And, ice and ginger ale for the third and perhaps most extravagant portion.<br /> Had I believed all previous reviews, reputation, and sheer kudos of - ooh - the green fairy then by now I should be shagging Kylie Mingoue (as per Moulin Rouge) whilst painting the Sunflowers (as per Van Gogh), cutting one of my ears off, and then writing an Oscar-winning movie starring a Tom Cruise beard who dies of bronchitis (nee "consumption").<br /> Alas, I'm not.<br /> As I write, well - type - to you, I am just plain drunk. Hardly surprising when you figure that Absinthe Gold is 70% proof. I'm now on my third (substantial) glass of it, having had only All-Bran for brekkie and three portions of fruit for lunch. Whatever is supposed to have happened should surely have happened by now, yet, I'm still waiting.<br /> I'm not disappointed with originalabsinthe.com per se, let's be fair. But, if what they claim to offer is 100% pure absinthe of yore then I wonder whether the Bohemian movement in France last century was genuine, or just another case of "The Emperor's New Clothes". <br /> Having typed this tome I am now at the end of my third, and not insubstantial, Absinthe Gold. So far, no trails, no blur, no green fairies, no Kylie Minogue, in fact "no nothing" other than a feeling of general, run-of-the-mill stupor that I can get from buying beer locally.<br /> If anything changes, I'll be sure to let you know. :o( If nothing changes, then you may as well drink home-brew beer and put your good money towards either mushrooms or LSD. :o("<br />
Definitely recommend it. Original Absinthe is the best place for Absinthe.<br /> My order came in within a week and a half of placing the order and within a week of it being shipped. <br /> It was good and as far as the effects from it, it was definitely an awesome feeling! <br /> I will be ordering another bottle as soon as I can.
Have to agree with others who say, "savor it neat."<br /> But not for the faint of heart or those who are looking for a sweat "foo-foo" drink.<br /> Cherished every drop!
100mg of Thujone Really Makes the Difference
Take it from a chemist, the "gold" is great--don't waste your time with anything other than the the *gold*. The thujone level of 100mg really makes the difference. All of you cheap customers out there are not really appreciating what Absinthe is really all about. I received the bottle within 9 business days and was very curious and excited once received. The instructions say "not to drink it neat" --- I totally disagree. A true lover will put the bottle in the freezer ASAP--then serve on the rocks---sugar is optional. I would not want to dilute the gold with anything other than ice and possibly a little sugar. Keep in freezer. the buzz is totally unlike any other buzz you have had. The price is relatively high--but once you sip the gold over a period of a few hours--you will understand what i am talking about. It is a shame they don't make a version called "platinum" which would contain more than 100mg thujone. This is a quite unique feeling and I highly recommend, I will continue to be a gold only customer and will order at leat 5 bottles at a time from now on. A must for serious libation lovers which cannot be found anywhere in the USA. I love the "Gold" King of Spirits - and remember I am a chemist and know all about the oil of wormwood and thujone.
One the payment went through, I received my King of Spirits Gold exactly when you guys predicted it would. The absinthe is absolutely exquisite and I will definitely be ordering it again, worth every single penny :)<br /> My only criticism is that I ordered a spoon along with the absinthe, and the way in which the spoon was packed directly against the bottle left two semi-large holes in the front label (about .5mm in diameter), so that Van Gogh no longer has a mouth :( <br /> Hopefully next time I will receive an undamaged label that I can proudly display in my cabinet. I still highly recommend ordering from this site though.
