Woo hoo. Got it. Exactly as the website said. Alandia Maison Absinth. And holy christ is that stuff potent. I popped the cork the night I got it just to see what it was like. Just like everyone said - very very strong licorice scent and flavor. I poured a shot into a glass and took a very small sip. It tasted like concentrated Jagermeister and burned like everclear. Straight up is not the way to go with this stuff. So I did the traditional mix with sugar and about 4 parts ice water. That did the trick, it tasted like a holiday mixed drink. Much more smooth and enjoyable. I shoulda bought a cheaper bottle though, at 72 percent it's the strongest I could find, but at 65 Euro for .7 liter I could've sacrificed a little.
