Absinthe is a wonderful gift, it’s not only a noble spirit full of history, mythology, and tradition, but it’s also a lifestyle.
Real Absinthe Original is made by craftsmen distillers to a secret 200-year-old Swiss absinthe recipe and it is said by connoisseurs to compare with the rarest French cognacs. The complex and distinguished taste is rounded up by a well blended herbal mix with the pronounced taste of wormwood and coriander. In its elegant new bottle, this original absinthe looks good, it tastes good, it is good. Only the highest quality ingredients are used in its manufacture and it is guaranteed to be free of artificial colorants and chemicals.
Absinthe Original contains many herbal extracts including angelica, aniseed, coriander, hyssop, juniper, nutmeg and wormwood. Just as the original absinthes of Belle Époque, Absinthe Original too draws its powerful mind-bending buzz from Artemisia Absinthium, or grande wormwood, the notorious mountain plant whose strange effects have fascinated humanity since the times of the Ancients. Absinthe Original's fine deep olive green color occurs as a result of its natural ingredients with no artificial colorings added. This also explains why the color may appear slightly different from one bottle to the next. Absinthe Original may also change color over time. This is what makes our absinthe the most authentic and desired brand in the market. In fact, these subtle variations in color have always been considered the hallmark of high-quality, genuine, real Absinthe and in the Belle Époque period, it actually distinguished a genuine Absinthe from an imitation or artificially colored products.
Always drink absinthe well chilled either with a little sugar and water or as a base for your favorite absinthe drink. Either way, La Boheme Absinthe Original is one of life's great pleasures. And always remember, must be served over ice!

Did you know that...?
The medicinal use of wormwood dates back to at least 1600 B.C. The Egyptians used the bitter herb as an antiseptic, a stimulant and tonic, and as a remedy for fevers and menstrual pains. The Greeks prescribed it for jaundice, rheumatism, and anemia. The Romans used wormwood to aid digestion, for upset stomach and to cure bad breath. The leaves of the shrub-like perennial were also used to expel intestinal worms, hence its English name.
I honestly was disappointed in this, its kinda bitter, (the anice is quite noticable here) I am sorry but there was no louche in this just a swirl of oils when i added water to it. Taste wise it was ok, I did not like the finish at all. Its strong in terms of the alcohol content, and it gives you a decent buzz after downing a few glasses. As far as the effects they were ok I suppose, no green fairys but it was somewhat pleasant, kinda weak to me. Bottom line is that this is expensive for what you might be expecting for absinthe and the absinthe itself is dissapointing. I have tried other brands that are much better and more affordable. I would not recommend this even if you are a first time absinthe drinker.
I have been an Absinthe Original customer for 2 years now and must say their Absinthe is spectacular! I have drank Absinthe in France, Germany and the U.S. Absinthe has recently been approved for sale in the U.S. and several upscale restaurants in the Cleveland, OH area host "Absinthe Parties." However, these "Parties" use French Absinthe and taste quite harsh compared to the ones from the Czech Republic. I started with the 350ml Absinthe bottle which tastes sweet and contains no Thujone. I graduated to the Absinthe Original and must say it makes quite the sophisticated drink during the cold Winter months. I have just ordered the Absinthe Gold, which contains even more Thujone than the Original, and cannot wait for its arrival. A few drinks of Absinthe Original sets the mood just right. I cannot wait to try Absinthe Gold!"<br />
Good Clean Buzz, No Green Fairies
Good Service, Quick and reliable shipping. This has a bit of a nasty after taste, but a good clean buzz that doesn't make you drowsy. No green fairies after 2 bottles in one weekend but very good all around."<br />
This product is amazing. After trying many "Absinthe" rip offs that are no better than cheap Ouzo, I finally decided to invest in the Original.<br /> I enjoy my liquors room temperature, so I pulled the bottle from the cabinet, fired up the sugar and a little bit of water. The flavour was amazing, complex, and beautiful. The high results in a "lucid inebriation"- which can only be experienced and not told.<br /> If you are concerned about investing in Absinthe online, do not worry with this company. I live in the West coast and the product got to me in 7 business days. it is worth the wait. Just see if you will want to share it with your friends. Good thing my wife doesn't drink!"<br />
