I don’t know about little plastic bricks, but I can tell the difference between Czech absinthe and French absinthe with my eyes closed (hint: the Czech stuff tastes like gasoline). Is absinthe better if it’s made by Frenchmen rather than Czechs? Clearly, yes.


Absinthe ? Do you mean the drink made from absinthe? This drink is not allowed to be sold in France (since 1915). The “French absinthe” you are talking about is more probably from Switzerland. (where it has been legalized in 2005)

Not a big deal :-)

It can apparently be produced for export in France, and even sold in France if you don’t call it ‘absinthe’. I recommend the Verte de Fougerolles 72.
