Buy Absinthe

buy absinthe, the green fairy, essence liquor, herbs and spices

This beautiful, four-color label is printed on a glossy, self adhesive paper. A high-gloss coating was added to give even more depth. The label is 90 x 90 millimeters, and was designed by Roger Abrahamsson, a Swedish grapic designer. It took nine full days to make this label - it is a work of art.

You get six labels for free when you buy the set (enough for 13 bottles). You can refill your bottles many times, and you may want to use some of the labels on other bottles and give them to special friends.

"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were.

After the second, you see things as they are not.

Finally, you see things as they really are,

which is the most horrible thing in the world."

"Let me be mad...

mad with the madness

of Absinthe, the wildest, most

luxurious madness in the world."

Marie Corelli

"Art is the soul of life and the Old Absinthe House

is heart and soul of the old quarter of New Orleans."

Aleister Crowley

The most legendary drink in the world

Absinthe is the most mythical of all drinks. It tastes better every time one drinks it. It has a taste like mild Pernod with a hint of wormwood. The pleasant, slightly bitter aftertaste is easily remembered. Absinthe was the favorite drink of Picasso, Oscar Wilde, Vincent van Gogh, Gaugin, and Cezanne. It was the drink of many world leaders and other famous people. Among others, General P.G.T Beauregard sometimes relaxed over a drink of the green fairy.

This resulted in Scandinavia's becoming the world's largest market for essences. The market increased from 200,000 bottles a year to over 2,000,000. Ten times the original amount! Gert Strand made a number of inventions during this time: for example the first Turbo yeast in the world. And to this day no one delivers better Turbo yeast than Gert Strand. We supply the same yeast to distilleries that we do to home brewers. Professional quality only.

Make your own absinthe with the same ingredients that we supply to the liquor industry. Mix essence, sugar, and vodka (or any neutral spirits) to create a natural absinthe. You do not have to pay US$100-$160 for a good bottle of absinthe: one that perhaps contains the same essence you will use.

Absinte tastes so good that it was removed from the French wine industry. Using lobbying and dirty tricks, they managed to get absinthe banned in most countries throughout the world. This is why absinthe is very rare today.
