psycho0 Posted December 30, 2003 at Dan Murphys they now have 3 types of absinth on sale 'the green fairy' pretty good flavour and effects but i tried this one ages ago and can't remember that well. doesn't really turn milky white and is almost see-thru green 'dr jeckyll' emerald green which turns very opauqe(is that the word) milky white anyway. very nice flavor and also has great effects. 'doubs absinth' the latest. darkish green in color which only slighty changes with water adde. also very tastey and strong effects. i also got a free absinth spoon with this one, works very well too. all good straight as well, burns a bit tho;) also guys be careful u may not work properly (penis-wise) after a few or these but is good when u can. enjoy! i still wanna make some real strong stuff tho:D btw, could u evapourate the alcohol off and eat whats left for real strong effects? thanx aaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agamemnon Posted December 30, 2003 That sounds cool. Which Dan Murphys did you get it from psycho0? I live in North Queensland and as far as I know its an absinth free zone up here. :confused: Anyway maybe I can get them to mail order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mescalito Posted December 30, 2003 Goulburn wine and spirits in Darlinghurst were importing some other brand this year,I managed to pick up some from a little bottl'o in Bowral....very strong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shamanorrhea Posted December 30, 2003 What are these effects that you speak of? I've done some reading on it and all that I have come across is that people feel a mild buzz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomaos Posted December 30, 2003 Queensland and as far as I know its an absinth free zone up here. somebody posted a while ago that a bottlo on Lutwytche Road?Gympie Rd?/Brisbane sells absinthe. Don't know about North Queensland but... PsychoO, do you mean you really get "trippy" off the stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psycho0 Posted December 30, 2003 u get a slight drunk feeling but kinda different with a strong hash feeling. if alot is drunk u do get slight trippy-type effets not really visual or anything. strong energy rushes thru the body and a dreamy and euphoric type high.

mesq Posted December 30, 2003 I could go have a look at the grape in lutwyche... seems to me buying any absinthe in australia (unless from a mate of a mate ) is a waste of time cos of the limitations of thujone content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psycho0 Posted December 30, 2003 yeah would it b hard to extract alot of thujone from wormwood then distilling into absinthe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomaos Posted December 30, 2003 Shouldn't be hard for someone with a still.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrBumpy Posted January 5, 2004 While I was doing my christmas shopping I came across absinthe being sold at the bottle shop on the ground level in the indro shopping centre. It was priced at 49.99 if memory serves right, it was imported, didn't take much notice of it at the time, but just letting you know its there if you are interested. -bumpy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agamemnon Posted January 7, 2004 Thanks for the offer to help me out psych00. I managed to mail order some green fairy from Quinns in Brisbane. Dan Murphy refused to send any absinthe unless I bought a dozen bottles...capitalist bastards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray Posted January 7, 2004 At the moment I'm drinking Pernod Absinthe 68%, much nicer than the heavily coloured Czech Republic stuff they sell in all clubs here in Queensland. It has a strong anise aftertaste and you can definitely taste other herbs in there too, it also goes milk white when you add water (cool). Plus be careful melting sugar especially after a few drinks at 68% there is a real element of danger to drinking this stuff, dazzle your friends with your perforated spoon and the ease of which you burnt off your pants. Maybe get a decanter or sugar syrup It's available at the bottle shop next to the Dendy Cinema in Brisbane, so buy a bottle then go watch Lost in Translation.

Stroodes Posted January 18, 2004 from what i hear, most of the sinthe sold in aus doesnt contain wormwood. If you ask me itle be best to make some urself (like i did ). Plus you will end up with the good 75% shit, not some crappy diluted 40-50% stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psycho0 Posted January 18, 2004 i bought a bottle of wormwood tincture a while back and was wondering if u could add this to pernod and distill, for example to make the real thing? thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
