This bottle of Staroplzenecky Absinth is a smaller version of the 50cl bottle. Staroplzenecky Absinth is a strong alcoholic liquor made with herbal extracts, the main herb being wormwood, sweet fennel, and star anise. An emerald green absinthe with a distinctive bottle and taste. Staroplzenecky absinth is manufactured in the Czech Republic according to the traditional French absinthe recipe with 64% alcohol (128 proof) and a production method that has been improved in excess of today's required standards. Absinthe Staroplzenecky contains 10 mg/l of wormwood thujone.
Absinthe is now purported to be legal in the US as long as it is THUJONE FREE! How strange as real, wormwood absinthe is made from Artemisia Absinthium, the herb that gives absinthe it’s name, and produces thujone so what is the truth are they selling absinthe? We don't think so.
Did you know that...?
The French went on a propaganda campaign against absinthe not long after their grape vineyards started to recover from the blight that destroyed many of the vineyards. Absinthe was cheaper and definitely packed a more powerful punch than wine, opium was pretty popular too in France, hence the hallucinations when combined with spirits that were 140 proof. It was difficult to convince the French people to drink wine instead of absinthe so trashing it as poison was what they did. Kinda like what the church group did when they funded the movie Reefer Madness.
Shipping was excellent! It arrived very quickly. <br /> I was not as pleased with the product, this Staroplzenecky absinthe was very hard to drink and very strong with a bad taste similar to mouthwash. I tried several different ways to drink it, including lighting the sugar cube on fire, which was probably my favorite way to drink it. It helped the flavor. <br /> I did get a nice buz that I would like to have again. Next time I will try a different brand. Nice bottle, keepsake!"<br />
I've ordered two bottles and every drop has been savored. An excellent starter absinthe. I didn't think "mouthwash" per se, but definitely medicinal at first. Still, the flavors come out as you sit back and enjoy it. It's also great for people who've never had absinthe because of its comparably low thujone and alcohol contents and its good for people who're on a budget because it's significantly cheaper than most. I highly recommend it!"<br />
