Meadow of Love, Delicate Verte with Floral Poetry
Presentation (no points): The bottle is a clear glass bell, nicely labelled. Clear glass is not ideal for protecting the absinthe from light, so dark storage is ideal. The...

A Must-Try from small town N.Y.
Presentation (no points): Clear glass bell shaped bottle with a lovely label that speaks to this absinthe's origins. The clear glass bottle suggests that long term storage of...

Absinthe from España
Presentation (no points): Obsello Absenta comes in what looks like a dark wine bottle, with an attractive label. A healthy amount of wax seals a t-cork. This review...

Artificial color, mediocre flavor hold this back..

An Interesting Offering from Okanagan Spirits
Presentation (no points): Interesting bottle for this absinthe, tall and skinny, which makes it fit on my absinthe counter well. Unfortunately it also means that it's only 500ml, which...

A New American Absinthe
