Tasting Notes

Artificial color, harsh wormwood, alcohol burn, limited complexity. Quality Czech absinthes exist but are rare. Most are macerated, not distilled.

Brand Guide

Avoid: Most neon-colored Czech products ($15-25). Acceptable: Metelka, L'Or ($28-38). Better: Switch to Franco-Swiss styles. Redirect toward quality.
