La Boheme Absinthe Original and Absinthe Original Bitter Spirit special gift set was originally created to celebrate the relaunch of these two popular absinthe products. Both in new elegant bottles, improved recipes with more thujone, they simply look good. Both of these absinthes are made by craftsmen distillers in the Czech Republic to our secret 200 year old Swiss recipe. La Boheme original absinthes are crafted directly from selected whole herbs, including Grande Wormwood, and never from cheaper assemblages, macerations, extracts or oils. You are saving money with this special absinthe offer and you'll also receive one handsomely designed chromium plated Absinthe Spoon from us as a gift!
Historical Information on Absinthe
The production of grain alcohol by distillation of fermented cereals heralded the invention of liqueurs, and toward the end of the 18th century, the formulation of absinthe evolved in Switzerland. The absinthe recipe found its way to Henri-Louis Pernod, who in the early 1800’s opened a factory in Pontarlier, France. Several competitive companies were subsequently founded in France and Switzerland, and for the next 100 years, absinthe production was a significant industry. To overcome the bitter taste of absinthe, it was customary to add a sweetener. The most genteel manner involved mounting a cube of sugar in a silver sieve (an absinthe spoon) that was placed across the top of a glass containing a small amount of absinthe. Cold water was then poured over the sugar cube into the glass. Dilution turned the clear green of the liquor to a yellow opalescence. Men and women became enthralled with this ritual of presentation as well as with the appearance, taste, and excitement of the liquor.
Order this two bottles and I am very satisfied with taste and quality my next one will be the 100 mg Tujongs
This is the REAL Stuff! You have to be ready to drink responsibly. I personally like to mix .5 of this to 1 with the other Absinthe in the Blue Bottle. For me, I get the kind of experience that Picasso and Crowley had. You can use Sprite to mix and still retain all the hit and the flavor. If being hit by "One Punch Man" seems a bit extreme, do like I do, and mix it with Grape Soda. That's how I drink it. Its very much like "wine" from Dionysos himself!<br /> I have not opened the Bitter Sweet - yet. That will be for a very special day or ceremony. Perhaps the day of Necronomicon !! One day I will try the King of Spirits.
I can't express enough the delight giving these items as gifts this holiday season has brought to it's recipients. One item was damaged during shipping and within less than one hour, a replacement was shipped out. Fantastic customer service, product looks, smells, and tastes wonderful. Definitely a great gift. Will absolutely purchase again.
Really enjoyed my 2 bottles of Absinthe from Prague. Prompt shipping as well. Much better than the watered down Absinthe brought in locally. <br /> <br /> Thanks for the extra Absinthe t-shirt, and flask. I wear the t-shirts frequently and enjoy my flask as well. Cheers!
I ordered this set here in the States and I didn't receive the spoon. I got the set and enjoyed it but I was just wondering about the spoon.<br />
