I know wormwood is one of them. If it does in fact have 130, that should cover most any herb that might come to mind. For a somewhat less nauseating experience, go with the pricier V.E.P. Chartreuse which is aged 12 years in oak, and is a good deal more refined that the regular. I think I found my bottle on some liquor website a number of years ago, but I can't remeber which one. -------------------- "Even if Shabba had never set foot in Spain, Dr. O would still be wrong."

A look at Chartreuse in The Gentleman's Companion (1939, 1946) reveals: QUOTE . . . Clever chemical folk pronounce it to be made up of the following essences: Sweet flag, orange peel, peppermint oil, dried tops of hyssop, balm, leaves of balm, angelica seeds and root, wormwood , tonka bean, cardamons, as well as well known spices such as mace, cloves and cinnamon. Nice, simple little formula, this! Green is most pungent, expensive, and a bottle will run as high as forty dollars alleged gold per quart, in the older supplies . . . $40 a quart in 1946? OUCH! I guess if it's a secret formula, it can have :chop: in it, eh? Perhaps we need some monks to start making a secret formula. Brothers of the Jadeite order? -------------------- "Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship." - Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group which apparently promotes pedophilia. . . . and don't forget to read the FAQ and check out the Absinthe Buyer's Guide for brand reviews and distributor links!

It's not bad . . . really . . . it's not , it's just kinda different. Well, we already know I'm a freak, so you don't have to rub it in . . . -------------------- "Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship." - Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group which apparently promotes pedophilia. . . . and don't forget to read the FAQ and check out the Absinthe Buyer's Guide for brand reviews and distributor links!

They had the VEP at Rum Runner (the local high-end liquor store, which also has Absente, Pernod, AND Ricard, all of which cost about as much as buying and shipping for some Sir Piss, so why bother), it was $130. A bit too ouchy for me. I'd rather have the Fudgy Rolls if I'm gonna spend that kinda coin. Or 3 bottles of UE by way of SC with the superslow shipping option. -------------------- "Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship." - Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group which apparently promotes pedophilia. . . . and don't forget to read the FAQ and check out the Absinthe Buyer's Guide for brand reviews and distributor links!

It gives such a quick and delightful buzz . . . after just one glass! Nasty hangover if ya overdo, tho. No vomit thru the nose or anything, but the throbbin' wasn't where I like it to be! -------------------- "Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship." - Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group which apparently promotes pedophilia. . . . and don't forget to read the FAQ and check out the Absinthe Buyer's Guide for brand reviews and distributor links!

But, all things considered, I'll stick with the unsugared Fudgierolls...even the long aged Vep contains all that friggin sugar and gives hangovers to literally make you long for death...if you really overindulge!!!! -------------------- "Even if Shabba had never set foot in Spain, Dr. O would still be wrong."

But right now, I need to get a good job so's I can afford some Fou-juice, and some UmEel, and some Sir Piss . . . I gotta celebrate that 4.0 semester (and 3.831 graduate GPA) somehow. -------------------- "Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship." - Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group which apparently promotes pedophilia. . . . and don't forget to read the FAQ and check out the Absinthe Buyer's Guide for brand reviews and distributor links!
