Well, is sounds kinda like "anise."

Or, if you've gone through half a bottle and become very silly, "anus."

In my review of it, I proposed that it means "Absinthe, Nearly So" -- i.e., this is pretty obviously an absinthe made with some oil mixing, not a 100% distilled product, which would probably cost a lot more. Not to say that it isn't very tasty.

I also thought "No Sugar", but that's not really
true -- there is a substantial amount of sugar in it, though less than in Deva.
Probably Vera has it pegged.

The birds punch out and head down to their "regular" for a pint of real ale and a nosh...

Okay... does anyone know what the NS stands for?
And where do birds go at night?

It's not "N.S." it's "NS"

Does anyone know what the N.S. stands for in Absinthe N.S.? I know I should be pondering more complex issues, but hell, the thirst for knowledge has overwhelmed me...........
