Regardless, why don't you spell it out for me why this is, instead of writing one sentence responses.
seriously, I'd like to know why you believe this.
Stop being lazy and research the difference . Commercial absibthe is made different . Stuff isent distilled just soaked .

There's been a resurgence in traditional absinthe since the early 2000s. A lot of commercial stuff is made using maceration followed by distillation followed by a secondary maceration like absinthe was made a ~100 years ago.

If I wanted to do that I wouldn't have asked.
I'm here for the conversation.

I tried it once using a recipe that Wiccan Seeker posted, using a one gallon electric still.

Wasn't near as good as absinthe that I've bought online, but was still pretty damn good.

nice. I really hope to work on it this summer once I have the funds and the free time.
On a funny note, as soon as I walked in to my night class today I instantly smelled that distinct absinthe smell, put a grin on my face

me and a friend were going to distill our own absinthe....
our recipe called for macerating the herbs for a few days...it's been four years now. i have the jar right here on my desk. the liquid inside is black and tastes incredibly incredibly bad. hopefully will get off my arse and make a still someday soon. (in my imagination, because that would be illegal in the police state i live in).
on another note on my recent trip to europe i bought a bottle of jade edouard for like 60 bucks, better than the EASY 200 you can pay in a bottle shop here. i just wish duty free allowances were higher! jade is pretty good by the way, though i also like doubs as a cheap option.

I think absinthe is just hype. I have tryed it many times. I have tryed 2 Czech brands, a French brand, a Spainish brand and a British brand. My first few times trying it I got too drunk to remember what it was like. I have tryed it in moderation and I have experimented with sugar carmilization and burning the alcohol. My conclusion is that absinthe is total BULLSHIT. It will not make you trip. The taste is IMO awfull. If you like licorice you will like the taste of absinthe. It remimds me of the Dutch candy dropjes. Those things are fucking nasty. Seriously though, absinthe is not psychedelic at all. The only way that you can trip with this stuff is by bashing yourself in the head with the bottle.

I consider it to be the "sativa" of alcohol while everything else is "indica"
its got a nice uplifting quality to it which makes it a good choice for working on homework or in social situations, etc. I will admit you have to get used to the taste but once you do its really good (also imo you should always let it sit around for a while, especially if you aren't used to the licorice flavor) when you get used to it, it tastes like a very complicated lemonade type flavor

Yeah, it does have it's own sort of buzz.
I'm going to have to invest in about 20lbs of sugar real soon.
