I'm talking the swill that tries to pass itself off as real absinthe. Y'know, the crap that tastes like shit but the marketers try to pass it off on dimwits as a "mixable" absinthe. Utter xit.
Mata Hari.
Tourment Verte.
Absente.

Marteau Verte Classique and Luxit cum to mind. I'm not even considering the German and Czech crap, onacuz everyone should know better by now.

St. George -- the worst so far.

I haven't tried the Mata Hari, et al. (and don't intend to). The Lucid is probably the worst I remember other than a Markus prototype. When it comes to full blown craptacular -- I'll leave that others.

Pere Kermann.

Elixier
Krut's Karport
Perrigan

Mythe
St. George
Lucid

Yeah, leaving off the Czeckerland range obvious drain-cleaner, and once you've already listed Tourment Verte and Mata Hari, etc, I'd vote for St, George as most sinkable product being touted as real absinthe.

I don't know, Mythe is more craptacular, methinks.

I'd forgotten about Perrigan

Deva 70 was pretty bad, and I'd rank the weak louched fishy un emile pretty low.

Angelique onnacuz of the wormwood coloration.

As long as we're on that subject, let us not forget Segara 68.

Or maybe we xould.

I had, until you brought it up.

Leaving smack dab at the bottom of the crapper barrel
I cd offer the names of a host of xitswills
that mostly form the deadlier end of a deadly game
of downing shots with generous bikers,
but everyone here knows they're not real.

(And the view from the bottom
can be spectacublur, don't forget.)

Outsida that, I've bought things I won't
buy again, but I cain't think of any
that were unredeemable xite,
thank Bůh, not Bog. Butt, one
Lion prototype was to die for
and I'll never try that release.

Only way to avoid the craptacular
is to embrace what's been proven.

I still stand by that statement today.

If Duplais were alive today, he'd be cookin with bug juice.

Prezactly.

There's commercial absinthe worth drinking?

There will be soon.

Real soon.

Why wait? Drink Kruts Karport today.

Now there's one that's really worth dying for from!


Yeah, I hear you, Cros, but I don't happen to have any on hand, sorry.

I do.

The worst was when someone offered me a glass of industrial tasting Czeckerland Filterated Czeckerland Xit called Green Tree, the crap tasted like chemical waste.

Onacuz you have a real Equal Opportunity Liquor Cabinet/Museum™.

More of a cardboard box.

Um, no comment.
