Absint: The spirit of the Green Fairy
Absint, another writing of the word Absinthe, is the famous spirit of the Belle Époque era. Absint was almost 100 years illegal, but by the late 1990s it got legalized once again. Starting from Europe, Absint has experienced a worldwide revival.
If you like to drink real Absint, you can buy bottles of real Absinthe with thujone and wormwood online at ALANDIA. We offer a wide selection of Absint and Absinthe Accessories.
Absint at ALANDIA
Absint the Green Fairy is green from its color. Its taste can be described as fresh and crisp, as anise (green anise) is a major ingredient of a traditional Absint recipe. Although there is now as well anise-free Absinthe on the market, your first Absint should be a classic one with anise. This is simply the real thing. Absint contains thujone, an ingredient of the wormwood plant. But do not expect to see pink elephants after drinking some glasses. Absint is not a hallucinogenic drug, it is "just" a high-proof liquor with a special experience. Therefore, drink the Green fairy without fear but with responsibility.
Buy Absint online
ALANDIA was established in the year 2001. Since 2001 we are serving the worldwide Absint community. We offer an exclusive selection of authentic Absint in our online store. Although the shop is based in Germany, we ship to many countries. We are focused on the USA, Japan, Canada, Australia and of course Germany. Within Europe we can not ship alcohol, unfortunately. European customers can only order Absinthe accessories from our store. This is due to alcohol being taxed with excise duty (like tobacco).
The best Absint
There are many Absint brands available. The best option is to personally try out different Absints to find out which one suits your needs best. The best Green Fairy is always the one YOU enjoy the most. Not the one someone else recommends to you. Nevertheless, you will find at ALANDIA many Absinthe liquor reviews from other Absintheurs. Take a look at them for inspiration.
We want to give you some basic information about the spirit: There are distilled and macerated Absinthe on the market. Distilled liquors are of a higher quality, smoother from the taste and (unfortunately) as well more expensive. Cheaper Absinthe is macerated Absint. Cheap means, that the production method is less costly, therefore you can buy these brands at reasonable prices. But these Absints are often more bitter from taste, and more dominant from the herbal flavor. They are not as smooth as distilled ones. You have to try both varieties, to see which one you prefer. Most people prefer distilled Absint. They are softer and easier to drink.
Where can I buy Absint
Often, buying real Absint in your local liquor store is difficult to impossible. You mainly find Fauxsinthes, meaning Absinthes of poor quality, without wormwood and often with artificial coloring. The best way is, if you buy your bottle of Absinthe online. Besides a large selection of Absint you will also find the perfect Absinthe spoon, Absinthe glass, Absinthe fountain and other accessories in the shop. Check it out, you will not regret it!
