Just ordered a .5l of the verte, absolutely stoked to get this in! Should be here in a week, will leave a review once it arrives of the experience and quality.

UnWizard does not mess around, can already tell this vendor is here to stay! Excellent communication, friendly, fast, professional. Is there anything else a customer could want?  :)

Just got a motherfucking liter, NEVER tried absinthe before and I was very excited when I found silkroad hoping to take my absinthe virginity.  Been on the road for over a year now and this is the first absinthe i've seen on here.  I'll be testing this tonight.  Shipping and customer service was spectacular.


Some people may find opening the bottle to be difficult,

'Face the bottle so that the wire bail is on the far side of the bottle's neck. Then push the two loops on either side of the neck away from you while supporting the bottle with another hand. Once you get the hang of it it should be easy.'

Received the verte. Really well packaged - about 1/4 of bottles I receive usually from Etsy, Amazon, etc., will break in shipping.
Outstanding absinthe.

I ended up at about 3.5 to 4:1 for water:absinthe.
Clear and bright light-moss green (I know, peridot is the term... but all the peridot I have is pale), actual opalescent louche with depth to it. Lemon balm stood out for me over the main flavors, but really well balanced/complex; definitely not cut-grassy; not briny; not heavy on anise. +camphor lingers in finish too (is that the wormwood?)  Long finish, dryish, not numbing.

It was great.

The lemon balm is certainly a big flavor in the verte (green) variety, though this varies from batch to batch. I offer the blanc (clear) variety for those wanting only the taste of distilled essential essences of the herbs!
The anise flavor is much lighter than the commercial "absinthe" garbage you can buy in the USA. The anise, in my opinion, should be one flavor among many, not the whole show!
The lingering, possibly camphor like flavor you describe is likely from the wormwood or tarragon. These thujone containing herbs are not allowed in large quantities in legal absinthe and therefore unlikely to be in any of the absinthe you've tried before.
Thank you for your honest straightforward review!

Got my sample a few days ago. Gotta say, fast shipping. I was very surprised, I thought it would come later than it did. And the packaging was sufficiently safe for the contents and discreet. Stealth (i.e. disguise) was not really an issue. The information included was nice too, thanks a lot for that!

A friend and I split the sample, I took about 60mL and he about 40mL, in 20mL increments. We diluted it with an equal amount of water and added a teaspoon of sugar to the mix, then sipped it slowly, over the course of 20-30 minutes per drink. My friend said he couldn't report any psychedelic effects, but felt some additional wakefulness. He added some green dragon he had to his second glass and he says that it "went well."

I can't assume the ABV of the sample, but I'd say it's probably somewhat stronger than your standard 80 proof liquor... after diluting it, it was still strong. The taste is primarily of anise, but has a nice flavor background making it richer than the American "absinthe" I've had before. It's a tad bitter too, which I didn't expect. The oils inside it were unpleasant, but I think that this is an unavoidable consequence of getting the herbal extracts into the drink. It was simply a bit slimy, and I didn't expect that either. With sugar it had a nice aftertaste, which lingered for hours, hinting of anise and citrus. It's not harsh on the throat either.

As for myself, I noticed about 15 minutes after having the drink that I felt different than if I had taken some other drink. I couldn't put it into words. After the second drink I could tell that there were stimulant properties... I felt energetic and awake. I also began to experience coronas around shapes which contrasted the background, e.g. letters on signs. After the third drink I began to experience slight vision trails and some static, but no shifting, patterning, or fractals or anything like that. If I weren't looking for it, I'd probably have missed it. This may indicate a +/- experience. On the other hand, I couldn't help but notice the empathy I began to feel. Seeing the word "rape" actually made me uncomfortable, which would only happen to me on an empathogen or a psychedelic. My recollection also improved - I was able to recall archaic knowledge for which I would normally have no use, but was useful in conversation. I felt generally sharp, as I often do on "functional" stimulants or on some psychedelics such as 4-AcO-DMT and DOB. As for drunkenness, the third drink had me feeling buzzed. Unpleasant side effects: small headache. I would not classify absinthe as a psychedelic for this reason; rather, it's really in a class of its own. Wikipedia tells me that thujone is actually a 5-HT3 antagonist (among other things), which interests me because so is ondansetron, a really helpful antiemetic that I tend to keep on hand for psychedelics with heavy body load such as 2C-E.

For the price, I would put this drink as a novelty - but a novelty that everyone who drinks should enjoy at least once, if not several times. I would suggest that this might be a drink with which to celebrate special occasions, such as reuniting with old friends or getting a promotion. Rather than blacking out, you might enjoy the night better and remember it clearer - and I believe that you will enjoy yourself more while on this absinthe than on whatever else you might have had.

I got a Liter Bottle of the green absinthe, and it came with the most excellent packaging and quality and care. Wonderful. Tried it with some friends, and found it to produce a most wonderful buzz. I didn't realize I was quite intoxicated until I stood up, the intoxication is a very nice clear headed feeling. Would recommend this product to others because it is clear that UnWizard truly cares about and stands behind his product. That is he's not just out for the money. Wonderful experience. I loved the info sheet that came with the bottle explaining all the herbs!

I think the combination maybe. I've had ... ah... nonlegal absinthe from the locals and there's an element of the same note.  This is more pleasant and... floaty? perfumey? though. "Camphor" might sound a little strong for anyone unfamiliar with it, it's just what stays as a finish for me. Not trying to go all Robert Parker here.

No, no. Thank YOU.

3-4 parts water or so to 1 part absinthe worked out again tonight (hey. there can be two special days in a row. today was Absinthe Tasting Day, for example.) Call it 3.5 parts water to 1 part absinthe, all over ice.

No sugar used, btw. I think that's a personal taste thing, kind of like sugar in tea; I don't get all bent out of shape about other people using sugar.
Thanks again.

I personally prefer my absinthe without sugar added as well. I find that the high level of anethol provides plenty of sweetness (it is 11 times sweeter than sugar). Though it really depends on your taste for sweetness, I mean some people like to drink soda on a daily basis for example...
I encourage absinthe drinkers to use all the sugar cubes, absinthe spoons, fire, and absinthe fountains they want if it makes them happy. All those special effects certainly can't diminish an already amazing drink so use them! Ritual increases the power of any psychoactive substance! And you just might impress your friends.

UnWizard, something I might consider telling people on your vendor page (at least for the verte blend) is that sunlight and/or air changes the color from a beautiful green through several shades and ultimately to brown. My bottle is so beautiful I've left it sitting on my windowsill before I get to open it in a couple days and it's started changing colors.

May I also add this is not a problem with the vendor!! Just something absinthe is known for doing.  :) I've read up on it and it doesn't change potency or flavor, just color.

Quoting from your vendor page: "It is a psychedelic, plant derived drug that most people have never had an opportunity experience."

Does it really have psychedelic properties or is it just really high-proof (100+) alcohol ? Everything I've read on the subject suggests the latter:

Not trying to be a hater here though UnWizard and I do wish you the best of luck selling on the road. I only bring this up because I don't want people getting the wrong ideas about what their "trip" on absinthe will be like (i.e. a placebo).

Look up thujone on wikipedia; it's the primary psychoactive (besides ethanol) in absinthe if I recall correctly.

Every batch is brought down to a consistent 144 proof (72 ABV) by adding the appropriate amount of distilled water. I could bottle it stronger than that, but you have to draw the line somewhere...  ;)

Oh The Great Mystery of Absinthe!!! I wish I could just lay down the facts and explain how it all happens that this herbal concoction so steeped in mystery, folklore, legend, and infamy is still so poorly understood. The truth is that no one knows FOR CERTAIN how absinthe really works, or what it really does. The commonly written "absinthe is just trendy, no one has ever gotten high on it, thujone levels too low... etc." is of course just like any other popularized drug myth (i.e. crack is more addictive than cocaine, LSD makes you insane, heroin is more addictive than cigarettes, marijuana reduces sperm count, MDMA eats holes in your brain... None of which are actually true). I should expect folks here on this forum to be smart enough to not believe every word written in the mainstream media about the effects or dangers of drugs!
There are of course many people who write about the cultural implications of absinthe, the history, the economics, the political reasons for it's prohibition and why it was scapegoated for a myriad of social problems. They of course can write all of this and understand it to some degree without ever getting to know the drink itself. Others have had drinks in bars, in France, in the Czech Republic, in Spain and other places, and some have owned whole bottles even some made in the traditional manner, and some with regulated levels of wormwood. As far as I know, no one who has ever had real quality absinthe on a regular basis would ever write such a ridiculous statement as "Absinthe is just strong alcohol." The thought makes me chuckle! If anyone is going to write about absinthe or tell you about what it will or will not do, just ask them for their credentials; how many times have they had absinthe? Was it real absinthe made with the appropriate herbs? How much did they drink? Were they getting drunk all night on beer and spirits only to finish the night with an ill-timed shot of absinthe?
Most everyone who's had my absinthe, or other high quality absinthe in the appropriate quantities experiences the magic otherness that accompanies the alcoholic buzz. There are mind altering compounds in the herbs that go into the bottle and it would be absurd to say that thujone is the "active" ingredient. It is the whole garden of herbs that are used that produce the effects; Anethol from anise, star anise, caraway, and fennel is a key player acting to counter the stupefying and dehydrating effects of alcohol. Lemon Balm contains rosmarinic acid which relieves stress and affects the GABA neurotransmitter, and other compounds that increase mental performance. Calamus has long been used as a mood altering medicine. Coriander contains effective anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) compounds. Every herb contained in absinthe has powerful effects on ones perception and the combined force of these plant allies has been used for over 200 years in the form of absinthe.
The suggestion that the huge amounts of powerful plant medicines that go into the drink result in nothing more than a placebo effect seems highly unlikely. I am not here to try to TALK anyone into believing that absinthe is a psychedelic drug, only to provide people with the means for experiencing the delightfully magic experience themselves. To do this I provide Absinthe that is prepared from the highest quality organic herbs and alcohol available in small batches to exacting levels of quality; the way that it has been produced for hundreds of years.
The debate of course will continue, and I am happy with this because I know for a fact that in my experience there is no better alcoholic beverage than an ice cold class of Absinthe Blanc on a sunny day with a bit of chocolate cake on the side!
Thanks for keeping it lively in here! (forgive any typos, I wrote this in a hurry)

Absinthe Verte is naturally colored green with chlorophyll from fresh herbs. The chlorophyll will breakdown and lose it's color over time and this process is accelerated by light. (chlorophyll is photo-sensitive, how about that?!) The change in color from deep green to a yellowish brown is natural and will not effect the flavor or potency. The best place to store absinthe to maintain the color is a cool dark place, like a wine cellar for example. A freezer would probably keep it green for years...
Regardless of the color change the potency and flavor of absinthe seems to hold up to the passage of time just fine. Hundred year old bottles of absinthe are, from what people report, still tasting pretty good. Alcohol is self preserving and you should not worry about it losing it's magic, just keep it where you would keep other fine beverages...

Sounds delicious.

Thanks for the extra info, I was misinformed about the roles of many of the other herbs contained within. More research needs to be done on the neurochemical effect plants have on us. Why is coriander an anxiolytic, for instance? Synthetic chemicals have their place in medicine, but naturally occurring ones do too!

Okay, maybe this might have already been answered somewhere, but other than color, what is the difference between the blanc and verte absinthe? Are the ingredients or effects different at all?

They both start as the same clear absinthe the Verte has fresh herbs infused to give it the classic green color and slight but distinctive raw herbal taste and bitterness. The amount of herbs used for coloring is small compared to the amounts of the same herbs that go into the distilled product so the effects are likely to be indistinguishable.
I offer both simply to give you a choice between the classic "green fairy" and the magic opalescent blueness that is produced by clear absinthe. They are both amazing and I cannot choose a favorite!

The suggestion that the huge amounts of powerful plant medicines that go into the drink result in nothing more than a placebo effect seems highly unlikely.

This would not be that hard to figure out. Take absinth, distill the alcohol out of it and see if it still effective.

The reality may be more complex though - the components in absinth may act synergetically with the alcohol.

The reality is much more complex, because distilling the alcohol out IS how you make absinthe. Everything in the bottle is what boils between 160 and 195 °F. You would have to find some novel way to remove the alcohol without removing the other volatile compounds.

Just wanted to give an arrival review of my product.

Packaging was excellent. I ordered the sample bottle. The bottle is cool, the seal is perfect, and the amount was to the BRIM. Literally.
There was a bonus in the package and I don't feel it should be discussed, as it has once before. Simple put, it's a bonus to heighten security. Don't ruin it guys.

UnWizard is a cool dude. I had a..."issue" with my order that was caused by nothing more than my own mistakes. The issue went away today as the package seemed to arrive! Needless to say...the guy called what was gonna happen, and that's what happened. Down to earth person, with a sense of reality!(something I feel lacks around the vendors sometimes)

I will be having great discussions with UnWizard, and the buyers of his product as well! Glad to be a part of the Absinthe movement, if that's what we shall deem this!

Overall I am impressed and already saving up to buy a liter, or two...

Thanks again UnWizard, and to anybody on the fence about this product, get off it, and buy it!

I wish that I could tell you the exact concentration, but without having it analyzed by a gas chromatography–mass spectrometry lab I would simply be guessing. I hope someday to have it tested but until then all I can say is that I use GENEROUS amounts of Wormwood, Hyssop, and Tarragon to achieve a much higher level of Thujone that any of the regulated absinthe you can find in the mainstream market.

If anyone can offer to do gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis on it I would happily send them a sample!

I received a sample of awhile ago and I LOVE the product,I highly recommend trying it.
I am someone who really doesn't like alcohol much at all, but this was fantastic!

Be careful opening the bottle, and only open it when you are ready to pour your drink or if you are going to put it in a new container. It is very full and spilling a little when opening seems almost inevitable.

Shipping was super fast, UnWizard sent it out same postal day.

Finally got the chance to take my time with this and experience it properly. That is to say, with a slotted spoon, a sugar cube, and some ice cold water dripping slowly, drip drip drip over the dissolving sugar cube into the swirling elixir until I've achieved roughly 4:1 ratio of water to absinthe blanc.

Observe... don't rush... As the first few drops of water trickle over the sugar cube, fall, and hit the absinthe, I notice shimmering swirls of herbal oils spiral about like incense smoke. A bit more, and the drink begins to turn cloudy. I hold the glass to the light. To my surprise, I see not a bland milky whiteness but rather, a bluish opalescence that is quite beautiful and gives the drink a magical hue like a full moon on a cold winter night.

I'm surprised to find that the aroma, while interesting, is stronger and more "herbal" than the half-dozen commercial absinthes I've tried. I mistakenly expect a harsher taste but am relieved, no - thrilled - to find that it's incredibly smooth. Compared to the others I've tried that tend to go super-heavy on the anise and give one the impression of drinking unsweetened sambuca, I find UnWizard's offering to be sophisticated, complex, and very drinkable.

I quietly sip my drink over the next 15 minutes and alternate between observing the absinthe and staring into the glowing fireplace at my side. A sense of warmth and comfort slowly washes over me. Am I able to attribute this "effect" to the absinthe? Absolutely, though I would argue that it has more to do with a great combination of set, setting, and a quality drink than to any psychedelic properties of the wormwood. Drinking this simply to achieve an absinthe high would be equivalent to drinking fine wine just to get buzzed.

In this case, getting to know the lady - by watching how she looks, moves, and smells - is as seductive as actually tasting her, and I thank UnWizard for providing the opportunity for the experience.

Oh, and lest you think I nodded off to an absinthe-tinted sleep there by the fire, I'll have you know that I opted to go back for a second dance and found her just as tantalizing as the first time we met!

I personally cannot wait to try this absinthe! Never had absinthe of any type before and have wanted to try it ever since I heard about it about 6 years ago. Impkin, your account of this elusive spirit has only made me more excited to try it. I hope to order a liter of the blanc later this week whenever I get a chance to put btc into my wallet. I just hope it gets to me no more than a week later, because there's a special day for me coming up soon and I wish to have it for that occasion  ;D

I'm telling you. This absinthe mixed with some really good purp is fucking awesome. My wife is drinking/smoking with me and says "it's a very lucid drunk, It provides a very lucid drunk, it doesn't makes you think about things but be philosophical and artistic.  8) Mind you, we are still "crunk" on absinthe/PK. I would say absinthe gives you a general appreciation of life in a not quite sober, yet interesting and aware kind of feeling. This is our first bottle and we will certainly be getting some more as soon as we have the BTC, probably the 1liter bottle! I am excited for after I finish this review.  ;)
