Say what?
I'm not much for coming down on people since we all have to earn a living but this is from the City Wine Cellar @ http://www.citywinecellar.com/store/product/6343/Green-Fairy-Absinthe-75...
They're selling the American import of Green Stromu called "Green Fairy". I know this because I've had my share of issues with Stromu in the past (both as a drinker and as an insider). The Czech version bragged of thujone content and I'm a little surprised they're still doing it here in the States. I mean, we have a 10ppm limit and, well, if we're going to brag about thujone, well, something less than 10ppm isn't much of a brag right? Shit, every real absinthe in America currently has thujone and currently has thujone under 10ppm. So the only real brag here is that they call themselves "absinth" instead of "absinthe". Huzzah for you!!!! You're first in a small and annoying category! Anywho, here's what we're left with as a description:
"The first legal absinth containing thujone (from wormwood). Produced and bottled in the Czech Republic where they have been making absinth continually since at least the 1800s."
Say what?! But I digress...
If you want to drink rubbing alcohol that's your business.
PS. use the Johnson standard - No louche. No absinthe (don't let the lack of an "e" here fool you)
Update: I enjoy the "tell a friend" button on their site. I'd use it, however, to tell a friend to never, ever buy or drink it.
