St. George Absinthe Verte

[Eighties]

Calling all absinthe drinkers!!!

I'm still relatively new to absinthe and am limited to what is available in my local area. So far I've only been able to try Lucid and Kubler. I have seen the Grande Absente (the real stuff not the pastise) as well.

While doing a search, I've came across a mentioning of this label, St. George Absinthe Verte, and was wondering if any of you gentelmen have tried this yet? Apparently it is the first absinthe legally produced in the US since the lifting of the ban.

I much prefer Kubler to Lucid but I am eager to try a good verte. How does the St. George compare to the Lucid or other vertes?

Also, what other labels that are currently available in the U.S. would you recommend?

Thanks!

I couldn't find St. Georges but I have found a local place that had a nice selection of different absinthes.


On inpulse I bought two vertes. Le Tourment and Mythe.

Le Tourment is exactly what it's name implies a tourment. Fortunately I only bought a couple of mini bottles worth.

The Mythe is a totally different story. I only managed to find one review of it and it was less than favorable but I really like it. It has a natural coloring which I like a nice louche and a swet herbal scent that I find very pleasing.

Granted I'm an absinthe noob, but I do enjoy this verte. Kubler is still my favorite but Mythe is very nice also.

Thanks!
