anyway, what are the brands that still got the old fashioned amount of wormwood in it? That pernod absinthe example doesnt have it. In fact all the absinthes nowadays got about 100x less wormwood in them than they used to have. A few absinthes, so ive heard, still got the hallucinating effect, im trying to figure out which ones.
La Fee is the only one I would recommend. It is made with wormwood, it is the ONLY Absinthe that is monitored and authenticated by the Muse'e de l'Absinthe (absinthe museum).

I have a bottle of the Parisian, it's great. If you don't like the anise (licorice taste) try the Bohemian, it's more like the Czech style, although it doesn't louche (cloudy color from adding the water).
