Absinthe - whose tried it?

[IntrepidS]

For some reason I am intent on ordering a bottle of Absinthe from eAbsinth.com. It just looks very...intriguing. And I mean it sounds like it's no worse than other alcoholic beverages. They have ones from Spain, Switzerland, France, The Czech Republic, and other countries. What are your experiences with this drink?

theres lots of absinthe around, but not much 'real', ie hallucinagenic, absinthe.
from the options above, czech republic sounds good as i have bought the real stuff there before
you will know the difference straight away after a shot:

fake shit - drunk

real shit - jumping around talkin bollox like a lunatic for 20 minutes

good luck, i hope u find the proper stuff

I usually buy my absinthe in Portugal or in Czech.
I perfer more the Portugese Absinthe over the Czech Absinthe.
Though the Czech's Absinthe is also very good.
A picture of an almost empty bottle.
Time to open a new one.

Well in case you haven't realized yet I was looking at the site http://www.eabsinthe.com/ which is advertised on these boards. I'm looking mainly at the spanish "Deva" 100 proof, the Swiss "La Clandéstine" 106 proof, the French "Versinthe La Blanche" 114 proof, or perhaps the Czech "Reality" 120 proof. I'm mainly going by the ratings on the site, which suggst that those 4 are among the better ones. I just want to make sure that what I order actually has real absinthium effects or whatever it's called and won't just make me really drunk.

My nan bought me La Fee absinthe for Christmas last year, but I don't really drink that much, so most of it's been had by friends.
