INFO: (from distributor, and run thru babelfish)
Tradition obligates - Candela, a leading product from the tradition house Monforte del Cid (1895) Candela is a new absinthe from Spain. The manufacturer Monforte del Cid produced already since 1895 liquor and ranks thereby among the oldest manufacturers from Spain. The wormwood is cultivated and distilled several times, so that this absinthe receives a beautiful dark-green color. Welcome The Green Fairy! The taste is of pronounced herb notes in the foreground with an unobstrusive anise concentration.

Description: [From Spirits Corner] Tasting Notes: Ferri is a traditional distiller from Valencia, who had discontinued distilling absinthe, and now has relaunched its classical absinthe. Very "Spanish" absinthe, with a tipycal balance between wormwood and anis.
Description: From the vendor: 85% alcohol combined with wormwood and a merciless black color will start your psychadelic dreams. The Absinthe itself comes in a heavy glass bottle with a wooden cork.
Description: According to Alandia.de: With its devilish color Diablo Rouge creates an Absinthe atmosphere with a cutting edge look. Its recipe has a slight anise touch and uses Ginseng also, a plant from China which is recognized for its revitalizing and tonic action.
Description: According to Spirits Corner: Aromatic, with a strong presence in the mouth. Relatively low anis content, which makes it suitable for those who do not like the classic anise tasting absinthes.
Description: [FROM THE DISTRUBUTOR] This absinthe which comes from an old family recipe shows that some absinthes were made in the past without anis, but with licorice and wormwood only. It therefore does not louche, but still has a very pleasant flavour and a high content of thujone . We recommend it for those who do not like the anis flavour.
Description: This is the classic "party" absenta, produced in Ibiza. It's available in 55% and the more common 70% "collectors" bottle.
Description: The Montana distilleries in Spain have been producing absinthe for a very long time. Vintage Montana absentas are very good and represent some of the finer vintage Spanish absinthes. Modern Montana Absentas does not hold the same high quality but are among the better "standard" spanish absinthes anyway.
Description: [From the Distributor, Spirits Corner] Tasting Notes: This new absinthe from Montana is in our view, simply very good. The new formulation, with an alcohol degree of 68%, allows more plant extraction than the other absinthe from Montana at 55%, and is much fuller in its taste. It has a much higher wormwood presence, which results in a slightly bitterer taste, though not overwhelming, and a considerably higher thujone content, which makes it the the Spanish absinthe with the highest level, maybe comparable to La Blanche or Mata Hari.
Description: Typical spanish style absenta with pronounced citrus notes.
Description: Julian Segarra gathers the wild plants of wormwood at the optimal moment; he puts them to macerate in wine alcohol during the period of necessary time so that they give off all his aromatic and tasty potential; he combines the oil of the wormwood with anise to mitigate the bitterness. Segarra is supposedly aged for some time in old brandy oak barrels.
Description: This is the higher proof version of the infamous Segarra Absenta.
Description: Serpis, the classic and first modern red absinthe. Produced by Licores SinC in Spain.

Description: [From Alandia.de] Teichenné comes from Tarragona, a Spanish province next to Barcelona. The wonderful painted bottle is filled with a strong typical Spanish absinthe.
