Absinthe Review: Absinthe Gothica
Absintheur: Visitor 12.06.2010
Review:
All-be-it, this is my first sample of European Absinthe, as in the States we only have a few "Americanized" Absinthe's like Lucid, Kubler, St. George, La Torment Vert ect, all of which I've had, and this surprisingly does not have the bite I was expecting. Contrary to previous reviews, done in the traditional manor, this Absinthe does louche, but the blue coloring hides it. You can still see the clouding up behind the color though. The effects are exactly what I expected, as a friend of mine had a bottle a few years ago and I did 2 shots (which, unless you are a lunatic, I would recommend against doing) and noticed within 10 minutes the "green fairy" (or in this case, the blue fairy...). The flavor, well, is Absinthe. In the traditional preparation, it has a very well balance between the herbs used. The after taste lingers for a moment with a flowery, herbal taste on the back of the tongue. It has the "bitter" bite of the wormwood, which rears its wonderful head very clearly from the get go. I would have to say that this Absinthe is overall a better Absinthe than Lucid. The licorice is not overpowering at all. I like this one and will definitely be ordering it again and again. The package arrived in 7 business days, as stated. I cannot wait to order more varieties. I love this drink. Absinthe is the only thing I drink and will be the only thing I ever drink if I can help it. I would and will definitely recommend this to others.

HORRIBLE! SIMPLY HORRIBLE! I understand and respect peoples views and taste. But with a heavy licorice taste (which is fine), no louche, no extra feeling, I was disappointed. I had to quit after 3/4 of the bottle because i was not affected by any sort of buzz. I really wanted to like it, but besides the design and color, it was a giant let down. I am not a pro but with a few varieties under my belt i felt that it was poor quality. Buy it if you like the look but not for the flavor or affect.

Not a drip and sugarcube absinthe, it does not louche. Mixed 1-4 cold water is pleasent and shines a really cool blue color under "bar room lighting". At home, no louche means no fuss, 1 to 1 with anything sweet is sweet. Gimme creamsoda and a clariet glass and look out. 8) .

WOW! Got my first ever pair of Absinth from Alandia! A Abtshof 66 & A Gothica. Tried abtshof 66 with the ritual but enjoyed it even more without the suger on my second drink, just half chilled water and half Abtshof in a shotglass. Than next day I was itching to try the darkness -> Absinthe Gothica. Decided to do a shot of Gothica after reading some reviews here. Poured into a shot glass and dunked it down...Holydevil!! It burned it way down my throat and continued doing so for a good long while.. Soon I was begining to feel thirsty. Grabbed some snacks to try to absorb the heat in the stomach and thereafter munched down some ice cold fruits in an attempt to cool down. The kick came in slowly and just one shot of Gothica was nice enough to get a mild highness. Not drunk' just nice. Will try the bohemian ritual shortly with the Gothica. Did I mention the items I ordered from Alandia arrived neatly packaged and ultra quick? Well done Alandia! Will be placing more orders soon...!

this is the worst thing EVER! a smell like benzene alcohol, an appearance like anti-freeze, and a taste somewhere t the intersection of the two, i could not bear it. with the exception of one miserable glass, i have the entirety of a bottle that i don't know what to do with. absinthe effect? no clue. i couldn't finish the damn thing to find out. i recommend to all: stay away from gothica, the most vile substance on earth. try rubbing alcohol before drinking this.
