Now if someone can only make a "chilled water poured over a sugar cube" flavor to add to it
i have to appear in every absinthe thread i can find in here. my username says it all, no?
OK, not having mixing skilz or suppliez, where can I get a good absinthe flavor juice? The 2 licorice flavors I have tried, I can't even taste them!
Decadent Vapour Absinthe at Totally Wicked
Totally Wickeds-Decadent Vapour Premier Range

Yeah, $40 with shipping, but I've been tempted, its supposedly very good.
I've always waited for TW's 30% off sales before ordering the pricey items, such as Mega batteries or DV liquids.
very tasty indeed. I ordered mine last week, came in and fired it up, a very nice flavor.
Where the heck do you get a bottle of Absinthe to drink is what I want to know!?!
I am absolutely in love with The Perfumer's Apprentice new Absinthe flavouring!
I tested this, while it was in development, 2 months ago and I give it a big thumbs up. Although, I like it blended with key lime or Key Lime Freeze. It is very good and not quite licorice, more toward fennel/anise flavored.

I am an Absinthe drinker, and can vouch that the TW absinthe flavor juice is very close to the real thing (some of the French varieties, anyway).
If you want to know where to get absinthe, drop me a PM. I'm sure the mods don't want me spewing alcohol links here. Don't be surprised if I ask a ton of questions on your tastes, first. Absinthe comes in many forms. My favorite, most clean tasting is Suisse La Bleue Clandestine (google it). Keubler 53 is a good staple to have around also. But if you like that mouth watering cheek puckering bitters German or Czech style, I can direct you to some of those (gack). The French varieties have a wide range of flavors, too. Fee Verte is nice, medium toned and summery, while Blanc is very crisp, almost like a nude woman on a winter morning. La Fee is the absinthe I saw my first green fairy (not really, but tripped something good). Of course I polished off 1/2 bottle after drinking an entire bottle of merlot. So I was well into my 'happy place' before I even got to the absinthe. Another brand I drank was "Original", and at 3am, wide awake, I watched the entire cosmos breathe... yeah good times.
I ran a few absinthe forums, lol... can you tell? I also hold an absinthe tasting every year. Everyone brings a bottle of their choice (some home made) and we all sit around and taste them like you would at a wine tasting. We compare/contrast the flavors, textures, etc. Drinking 18-25 full glasses of absinthe in an evening is not uncommon. Everyone leaves happy!

Wow, you are most definitely an experienced drinker. I've always been a fan of Absinthe, at first based on reputation, then when "Lucid" finally arrived. It's probably one of the least "real" absinthes out there, but it's all I could get. I was burned early on when looking for my first overseas Absinthe as the bottle, can't even remember, some Russian spinoff was very expensive ($95 back in 2003), took almost 6 weeks to get to me and sadly, in the end, arrived broken, its precious contents absorbed by the cheap Slovak newspaper it was wrapped in.
So now I languish in the cheap Sambucas and Ouzos and put an occasional drop of Anise in my 510 for my thrills. I still want some "real" absinthe, but the prohibitive cost, difficulty in acquiring and a very bad experience have me jaded

We buy it at the liquor store in Oregon. I dunno about 'Smack dab center' but it's legal to sell now ....
Liberty Flights is going to be carrying Decadent Vapour (and their Absinthe) in their US branch soon. Another vendor option for it domestically. -Magnus
