I just picked up this great bottle from Alandia. It’s Absenta Comas from the 1970’s. The bottle is in great condition with intact label and tax seal. It also has a metal collar around the lip of the bottle, which I haven’t seen before. This is a good bottle for collectors as the more absinthe becomes popular the more sought after and rare vintage bottles will become.

Have  you ever wanted to try a new absinthe but were afraid of spending the money without tasting it first? Our sister site www.Alandia.de has the answer. Now over 50 different absinthes are available in mini-bottles. There’s a wide range to suit every taste and also some very nice mini-bottle sets. Check it out!

I was surprised, and frankly, somewhat dismayed, to find out that they are using the Bohemian ritual at The Old Absinthe House in New Orleans (thanks for that info Jessie). You would think that the oldest and most well known spot for absinthe in the US would know better.  Anyone who knows anything about absinthe realizes that you just don’t burn the sugar cube. What are these people thinking? If anybody happens to visit there, please try and talk some sense into them.
