Highly Recommended

Some more information that I left out from my first testimonial, the fact that that the 100 mg thujone is the greatest does not do it justice--this stuff is the "bomb". Please do nor dilute this absinthe with ANYTHING -- including ice or sugar -- putting this in the freezer and doing small shots every 15 minutes is the maximized affect -- the most incredible buzz you will ever have. <br /> I have herniated discs in my back-and the gold helps greatly with the pain. the taste is smooth when in the the freezer--once again -DO NOT DILUTE and do not order anything else but the GOLD,. any other version is cheap and not worth it==all you cheap bastards who are not ordering the GOLD are not really appreciating what the stuff can offer. I just ordered another 5 bottles and I highly recommend this stuff for all libation lovers out there.

Gold Only Customer

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 least 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.

GREAT Customer Service

Just got my bottle. The customer service was GREAT. Tastes better than any other alcohol, makes you feel cool, and whats more is cheap considering it gets you drunk so quickly! I felt mellow and happy - best absinthe experience yet! Only problem is the bottle is half empty...

Great service, exceptional products

Received my Bottle of Absinthe Original Innocent yesterday, about a week before I expected it, very well packaged so no chance of it getting broken. The Absinthe itself in unlike anything available here, all that is available here is La Fee Bohemian and occasionally the Parisian, and something called Absente which is basically a licorice flavored liqueur and in no way real absinthe, so you can imagine I was very excited to open the bottle and have a drink...which exceeded my expectations! I will definitely be making more orders from Original Absinthe, and if I order 3 bottles in one order it will cost me about the same as it does to buy the local stuff, just way better quality. Once again, thank you for your great service and exceptional products, you've definitely made a repeat customer of me!

Top notch packaging

I can't say enough about how much I enjoy your product. Every year for my birthday I treat my self to a bottle of your Absinth Original. I have yet to be disappointed. The packaging is top notch and very discreet. You shipping time was right on the money 2 weeks exactly. Further more I requesting Absinthe in stead of gifts. Christmas, Fathers Day, Mothers day, Arbor-day... any day that is on the calender basically.<br /> In Maryland they have been announcing that "ABSINTHE" is now legal, but what they are not making clear is that the ABSINTHE you are getting doesn't have any "THUJONE". (Edgar Allen Poe must be rolling over in his grave) I am very happy with purchasing my product from "Absinthe Original" and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you and Keep up the good work.

Pleased with speed

I received my item today, very pleased with the speed of shipping, arrived 5 days earlier than expected. Well packaged. Pleasure to do business with. I was skeptical about ordering $250 of merchandise over seas, but you now made me a believer that you are honest! Thanks again! Blake !!!!!!!!!!!!

Great service, exceptional products

I have tried Absinthe twice before - both were horrible tasting Ouzo rip offs. Finally, much to some financial saving, I purchased a bottle of Original. It came today (within 7 business days and I am on the West Coast). I opened the bottle and was pleased to smell a delicate bouquet of flavours and not an overwhelming anise scent. The taste was even more amazing. I enjoy all my liquors a little room temperature and the flavour was complex, aromatic and unequal to anything you could imagine. The inebriation was amazing - (I am writing this inebriated from Absinthe) it is best described as a 'lucid inebriation' - you will have to drink the Absinthe correctly and experience it for yourself. Thank you for supplying us with a truly 'Original' product.

I will order again

I was a skeptic at first. Hey anyone can sit down and write testimonials. I took a chance and am glad I did, My order arrived in about 7 days and was complete and as advertised. I will be ordering again soon and will tell my friends about site to order as well. If you are a skeptic as I was take the chance you will not be sorry. Enjoy! I am

Very pleased with the service

My second time ordering from over seas and I am very pleased with the service as well as the product. I have actually ordered two separate times and I have to admit that you should only send a money order if its your only option. It does seem to take a while for your payment to reach England. The product arrived intact just as promised and I have to say that La Boheme ROCKS! looking forward to doing business again in the very near future. Now I have to finish preparing my glass of Fruko and sit back, Mississippi is so much cooler when your seeing green!
