Dear Absintheurs, Strong68 is an all-time favorite. It is the bestselling Absinthe of ALANDIA from the day it was launched (2002) until today. People love this Absinthe for its strong Absinthe effect. Nevertheless, you can find some harsh reviews in the net about Strong68. You can read that the Absinthe is “very bitter” and the Absinthe forum Wormwoodsociety even calls it “Another ‘Czechsinthe’ product with macerated Wormwood”.
Why is this the case? How can a bestseller have such a bad reputation…? Here is the Absinthe Strong68 review.
Strong68: Old and new version
The answer is easy: Most of the reviews you find in the net are old reviews, meaning that they were published before 2012. They refer to the very first Strong68 which was a macerated Absinthe (indeed very bitter). In 2012 the recipe of Strong68 was totally revised. ALANDIA changed the recipe from a macerate to a distillate. Also, the production moved from a German distillery to a distillery in France.
Overall, the “new” Strong68 which is sold since 2012 is a totally different Absinthe in comparison to the former version. Nevertheless, its strong character remains. It is still a very strong Absinthe with a perfect Absinthe effect, as its recipe is based on a high amount of wormwood. Nevertheless, do not expect to see pink elephants, Absinthe is not a hallucinogenic drug (read more about Absinthe & Thujone at our info site). You can say the recipe is straight forward.
Besides its strength, the “new” Strong68 is a 100% natural Absinthe, meaning that it is naturally colored by herbs. It contains no additional sugar, therefore it is as pure as it can be. The taste is fresh and herbal, with only a slight bitterness. The wormwood that is used for distillation is cultivated in France, at the fields of the distillery. This guarantees the best quality of the herbs. If you buy a bottle we can almost guarantee you, that you will like it!
