Oh well.
No sugar for me.
Not ever.
Hurts my teeth.

if anyone ever said this about certain commercial absinthes, they'd be laughed out of this place...
Heck, I´d laugh at it if I didn´t actually agree - at least as far as the #30 is concerned, it can actually stand a higher dilution than UE, and it´s better with a modicum of sugar.
Though I´d agree that latter characteristic is probably due to the rather special grassy taste probably caused by the colouration that can be detected with very little sugar, and its slight lack of roundness without sugar (though it´s less harsh than, say, regular UE68 Blanche by miles).
UE68 Verte can be had with less sugar, but tastes like dishwater at 4.5:1.
Sixer is quoting the post above his again. And he can’t argue he was only quoting the relevant part, the rest of PV’s post was a quote.

Nope. I was quoting the original PV post, which Porkio also happened to quote (with, I might say, one less line of whitespace, if you need evidence of the independent derivation).
I hadn't even begun to read the rest of the thread, so I couldn't possibly have noticed Porkio's post.

Oh -- and DS: thanks for inserting that post to allow me to quote Cros

About sugar... hey, whatever works. I like my absinthe strong and sticky, like Swizzle' Rouge at 3.5-1 with a large perruche lump.

Ha! drink it as you prefer, I was just stating my personal preference at the moment (which may change from day to day), why make such a big deal about such a little detail ?!
It's funny how much reactions I can get just by saying "I like it with more sugar" !

I drink them all with one sugar.
Although it's really more like 2/3 because I just use the regular boring standard issue sugar cubes and they don't dissolve fully.

Something clear just hit my porch today -- Larmes De Lunes #1, rumoured to be based on the #24/25 recipe.
Almost tastes like a cross of Félix and Swizzlé - definitely very scrumptious, and just idiosyncratic enough to be very, very interesting (am I wrong, or do I taste some lavender and citrus peel?).
I have, of course, changed my signature.
I doubt anyone is going to be that interested in a sample from this remote location on earth, though, given the tons shipped from the Moon (wasn't this four batches mixed and all bottled at the same time?).
Curious to see reviews of more knowledgeable Sires.

LDL1 was a double batch. Same quantity of "boxes" left the door but most bottles where king size ;-).

Just as well. Its no good unless you enjoy it. With luck, you can obtain a bigger sample.

Let's just say opinion is divided on the subject - and almost the way it is on the subject of the need for a crew to man a ship in a certain Black Adder episode.
