Smoother than the best

I've tasted the gold brand, thats what is supposed to be considered the "best of the best" (more like overly expensive swill...)
And I really have to say,.. this is so much better. I've bought 2 bottles so far from this site, one some time ago, and another very recently. What really sold me on the great quality, was the first impression. The bottle is painted (covered up). Absinthe gets stagnate if left in natural lights too much, too long. The blackened bottle protects it from that. The second impression, the smell of it, was pretty nice, almost a floral/herbal scent, and the smell of the anise is pretty gentle. The taste, can be bracing, but it goes down easy when poored and prepared nicely.
It's easy to see why this bottle/brand is award winning, I definitely recommend this to anyone who may be interested.

I absolutely LOVE absinthe, so I set out to try as many as I could find, which has generally been a frustrating challenge. I had high hopes for this one, based on reviews (on other sites) and the elevated price. But price doesn’t always equate to preference, and I’m disappointed. I can’t criticize the overall quality of the product, because it has a “sophisticated” flavor. It’s just not a flavor that suits my palate. What I taste is less anise than most absinthes, and more of a cognac kind of flavor additive. Not my cup of tea at all. So I did what I often do, even with some preferable absinthes. . . . I added Dr McGillicuddy’s Root Beer Schnapps. And for those of you who like both licorice flavor AND root beer flavor, it is the best flavor combination ever! Still my go-to drink for greatest tasting cocktail ever! But with Lucid absinthe, it only “salvaged” the drink. Again, Lucid somehow seems very sophisticated, and I’m guessing that many will prefer this flavor profile, but for me, I’ll probably stick with Pernod and (Van Gogh) Absente, and maybe a few others.

So far, my favorite absinthe

I'm a very light drinker but have wanted to try absinthe for awhile. Ended up buying some from Cheklosovakia and somewhat dissapointed, as the louche effect of adding water was not working, and was one of the main feature's I was looking for. After reading reviews decided to to give the French made La Fee a try. Caskers processed the order quickly with great communication and updates. Had concerns as earlier reviews had said La Fee used artificial colorings, but was happy when the bottle arrived and proclaimed that it was all natural. My first glass demonstrated a huge difference between this and previous absinthes I tried. The louche was opaque and somewhat iridescent. The bouquet was subdued and not very noticeable. The taste was mellow, balanced and pleasant. It was nice and I would not hesitate to purchase again, but really want to try other brands just for comparison.
