Who makes the best absinthe?

Question

I was recently turned onto absinthe and I was hoping people could tell me who they think makes the best absinthe, I recently bought a bottle of Absente and it was ok but i know there is much better stuff out there

Answer 1

There was an article in August's Esquire Magazine that I read today, I just can't remember the brands. Gave lots of info on which Absinthe products are the best.

Answer 2

Le Tourmet Vert by far. It's the only absinthe in the US with the Holy Trinity and, remarkably, it actually tastes good instead of overwhealmingly black licorice flavored. If you really like the black licorice flavor, then try some Lucid, but I still prefer Le Tourmet Vert.

Answer 4

There are two kinds of Absente, one made with Southern wormwood and one made with grande Wormwood. Not sure which one you tasted. If you have the money then you can go for an artisnal absinthe: Century Absinthe and Roquette 1797 are two of my favourites.
