Comments: Wow!! This stuff is awesome, first i loved the way the the drink is made , slow dripping cold water and the puff every drop creates. mind blowing. The taste was something totally unique and changed with every sip, mild to begin with but slowly giving you the mild punches of both flavor an intoxication. It smelt like fennel seeds drying in the sun and that i think added to the charm of this wonderful drink.

Comments: I have never, ever been a fan (at all) of absinthe...until I met North Shore Distillery's Sirene Absinthe Verte. Wow! The perfect way to drink this is to pour a couple ounces of absinthe into a glass (no ice!) and then SLOWLY add water until it's almost all cloudy. You want one thin little layer of clear at the top, but the rest should be cloudy. Not sure what I mean...you'll see when you start to add a little water to it. Enjoy!

Comments: I had to be shown how to properly drink absinthe (ice cold water slowly dripped in). But when I did, I became a complete convert. This stuff is pretty remarkable. It's really a perfect, summer evening cocktail with all kinds of complexity going on--not at all black licorice in a glass. Unraveling the tastes int his drink is like unraveling the ramifications of free will in a metaphysics class.
