US Libertine Absinthe

Posted on October 10th, 2008 by JR

I stumbled across this site whlie searching the internet and it’s pretty cool. You guys have a nice selection. I’ve tried the Epoque Absinthe and the Clandestine LaBleue Absinthe and they are both great. But what I really wanted to talk about is Libertine Absinthe. I have had all 3 versions of the European Libertine and thought they were pretty good. So I was really excited when I heard that a local bar had Libertine. I was surprised when I got one and it was clear. The European Libertine has kind of a golden-green color to it. And then I tasted it and was very dissapointed. It didn’t taste anything like I expected. It wasn’t very good. Does anyone know what’s up with this? Did they change their recipe for the US market or what? Is this really Libertine Abinthe? If anyone knows anything about this please let me know.
