This is my purchase from Alandia. Ive tried second rate absinthes many times with the Czch ritual or stupidly drinking it neat and never realising that this didnt really do this wonderful drink justice. So i ordered this and used the advice to use the parisian method and mix one part absinthe with two sugar cubes to three parts water. What an absolute delight this is wonderful. At first i get the sweet anise flavour but on the back of my tongue i get another herbal taste which reminds me of taking a deep breath in a wonderfully scented aromatic forest. It very gently warms the back of my throat and is very smooth. All in all i think for me as a beginner its the perfect bottle to start off with until my palate becomes used to more complex flavours. I will definatly be ordering more bottles of this once my supply runs out.

Hello my fellow absintheurs! When I first tasted this absinthe, I was very disapointed by its taste. But then, after I really got to taste it, I really fell in love with this absinthe! I'm drinking it right now, and the effect for just a couple of shots mixed with cold water, is amazing! My movements are kinda slow, music feels like it's all around me (like surround sound), my face is warm, and it feels like hundreds of little needles pinching my face, but in a very good way! And another thing about the music-part; when in songs you here these electronic-made "clinks" (like a nail to a crystal-glass), it sounds really loud, and the sound kinda continues, when it really doesn't (I can't really explain it...) But seriously! Buy this absinthe!!! If I should give this absinthe a name, it would probably be "The best cheap absinthe"!

Hello absintheurs I have made the mistake of judging to quickly on my absinthe reviews. So to conclude this is my favourite absinthe on the Alandia market and also along with the hapsburg 89.9%. I believe absinthe is all about appriciating the taste of a historic gem. I also believe absinthe is about affect not in a bad way but in a unusual pleasant way. The strong 68 represents how absinthe should be. The taste of this absinthe is bitter but not exagerated if you add two or three sugar cubes to the process of making the drink it should balance right towards a great tasting absinthe. This Absinthe also contains approximately 35mg of thujon-wormwood that is why it is bitter from taste and also conciderd as a bitter alcohol drink. The strong 68 is also set at a classic 68% which means you can prepare the absinthe using the fire ritual or any other ritual you desire. I personaly have my own way of preparing this curtain absinthe which adds a lot to the affect. BUT THATS MY SECRET!!!. The colour of this absinthe sadly is not your typical green. it looks kind of like a light brown shade when pure, and when you add the water to it you will find it changes to a white cloudy absinthe. It is not a bad colour I have come to terms with it. However, this absinthe has a nice aroma mainly the smell of pure wormwood which leaves your room smelling of a forest which I really find fascinating. The drink is mysterious and has the best effects and is a joy to own. Thankyou Alandia for producing this treasure. I hope I have been of some help to you!! drink with resposibility because it is nothing to play with!!!!! BUT BUY IT!! so long my fellow absintheurs.

This was my second order of this great absinthe and I must say it was a very pleasant surprise. Surprise you say? You just said this was your second order? Well yes... And I don't know of it's me, but this second bottle is WAY less bitter! The anise and herbs realy come drifting to the surface together with a pleasant and tingling grapefruit-like bitterness. Not as harsh as grapefruit can appeal to some, but it's the most suitable comparison in this case: sweet and good, but with a bit of a punch. Overall a VERY pleasant taste, and: with the desired effect! I usually take this absinthe with 2 cubes of sugar and 3 parts water for the best taste(I don't want the alcohol tast to surface too much). Oh and yes my dear fellow absintheurs, I almost forgot to share this: I recently discovered that using 'reed sugar' (you know, the brownish stuff extracted from sugar reed) tastes even better than regular white sugar. Trust me, I've tried it...

The name Strong 68 fits. I ordered three bottles of this absinthe ( because it was cheaper for shipping) on the recommendation of a friend, and i must admit I'm hooked. I tried it as a shot first cause i figured it would be wimpy to mix with water and sugar. i have since learned my lesson and now use 1 sugar and 2 parts water to make it less like swallowing sandpaper. It louches as i have seen on demos and the taste when mixed has a slight herbal taste mixed with anise, overall very pleasant. I would recommend this absinthe to anyone trying it for the first time.

I had my first glass of this absinthe and I found that they were not kidding about the bitterness or the effect. Even using 2 sugar cubes didn't prepare me for the bitterness. I found myself inspired enough to write a poem and draw one picture on the same night. Nothing else has ever inspired me that much. I would suggest this product to anyone who wants to try every type of absinthes. All in all, worth every penny and every second of waiting.
