    Sure thing Ben... Caught the review of Le Tourment Vert and will be sure to steer clear. 

    The last brand I've had since being in Canada is the small-batch Taboo Gold from BC.  My girlfriend and I both really enjoy Taboo and it seems to be one of the only absinthes we've been able to find around here with a historically faithful recipe.  Perhaps you know of some other brands to recommend?

    OMG Ben! Nemesinthe is nasty! I LOVE La Fee compared to this crap. I gave it a 7 outta 10 rating. It has a nice color and from the bottle it doesn't say anything about artifical coloring, and it does have a nice louche. But the aroma smells like La Fee. The taste I don't even know how to describe it really. NO wormwood comes forward at all, just a weird nasty flavor is all I can really say. I am kicking myself in the face right now for buying a bottle of this crap. Shoot me your address again and I'll send you a sample to do a review on so you don't waste your money on a whole bottle like I did. I'm going to try another glass with sugar and see if that helps at all, if I can even get down this first glass.
