Absinthe Reviews

Welcome to probably my most pretentious interest. Absinthe really does feel like one of those quarter-life crisis things to get into, but I don't (tend to) regret it.

Since Norway has a strict law on prohibiting any imported alcohol containing more than 60% ABV, it unfortunately leaves out a good deal of variety since traditional absinthes typically score a high alcohol percentage. The list below is therefore mainly absinthes that are legally available through Vinmonopolet, Norway's state regulated alcohol retailer.
