oh, Lumpold and czartim, ordering absinthe to be delivered to the states is much less dangerous and less illegal than ordering cuban cigars. (not that i'm implying that you'd ever do that )

but if you're interested, there is great info, reviews, and vendor info here.

Well we sold the remaining bottles for $2700 each.
this was back in 1997 so they are wort a lot more now because Asbinthe is back in style so to speak.

that's still quite a big score...

i bet the estate owners would shite if they knew what that case was worth!

I'm kind of waiting to see carteurism's response... He is my personal absinthe wizard and knows more about this than anyone i've ever met before. He has devoted mucho time to analyze the history and evolution of absinthe including the methods of making and the traditions behind it.

Carter, i hope you dont mind sharing a bit of your vast expertise.

Interesting topic btw.
