ok...so i know the US govmnt partially legalized the sale of Absinthe in 2/08...
i also know this requires the Absinthe to have 10parts per million of Thujone or less...when the thujone is derived from a certain type of plant/root...but i know there are other ways to get Thujone as well...
So my question is this, and im sure its been asked before, but possibly not since the changes in the law sooooo: what is the best brand Absinthe to buy here in the US? I guess the real question is if anyone is aware of certain brands having higher Thujone values than others...as i'm really not interested in paying 70 bucks for a bottle of licorice flavored grain liquor.
At the local liquor store there is Lucid brand & 'Grande Absinthe' brand...are these two just as good as anything i could get legally online or should i search deeper for better and more classic quality? Any info would be helpful...looking to get a bottle for my girlfriend's birthday, whcih happens to be New Year's Eve...so i have plenty of time to sort this out.
Thanks ahead of time...been a few years since I've been on Bluelight...glad to be back :D
