BOOZE !!!
Pernod Absinthe Returns After 93 Years
Posted Oct 20th 2008 2:02PM by Jared Paul Stern
Filed under: Spirits
 Back in March my colleague Deidre Woollard wrote about the absinthe craze ushered in by the end of a longstanding ban against the supposedly dangerous spirit. The hype has died down somewhat, and while faddists move on to other obsessions leaving true enthusiasts to enjoy themselves, the original absinthe maker, Pernod, has finally re-introduced their famous original.
Pernod Absinthe (right) is a revival of Pernod Fils, arguably the most authentic absinthe ever produced with a recipe that's over 200 years old. The company stopped making it in 1915 when the French government banned absinthe, later coming out with a wormwood-free version. The original is a high-proof sprit distilled from Grand Wormwood, fennel and anise - exactly the same as consumed by the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, and now, us.

Re: BOOZE !!!
Meh. I had a Czech bottle and tried like hell to get the effects of it to no avail. Its just a high proof booze that will get you hammered quick, but doesn't taste good doing it.
