100 Year Grand Marnier. Regular is good, better if decanted. 100 year decanted is the best. The 150 year is like water. 100 year is best of the three.

By law, the thujone component is several decimal points smaller than a percent. Essentially none at all.


Yes, quite a shame. There was a pretty informative thread about it in the members lounge earlier. Really the best bets one has in the U.S. are Kubler 53 and Lucid.

Don't know if I have a favorite, but if I order anything with vodka it's definitely Ketel One. And not too long ago, someone turned me on to Elijah Craig bourbon, a little known brand that's considerably smoother than its price would have you think. Did a little research and found out that Elijah Craig is actually the guy who started making bourbon in Kentucky in the 19th century.

Agreed. If you want the REAL THING at a pretty decent price, check out Absinthe - Buy the Green Fairy online at ALANDIA

I've ordered from them a few times. They have a guaranteed customs thing too, if it gets seized, they send another. My box arrived labeled COMP-U-WARE.

Heh.

I have been getting mine from that company for 4 years or so now.

At any rate . . .

I concur w/Sailor Jerry. This is indeed my favorite brand of any alcohol in the known world.
