This video felt more like an actual review than most. Which I like, its a good way to mix up videos. Some are just dogshit liquor nobody wants but are novelties. And some are actual drinks some people might want a thorough opinion on. Although I'm a little blown away I'm saying this on the Absinth episode...
@@just83542 Honestly, just anything else. Mephisto is really the only bad absinthe I've ever come across. Lately, I've been drinking Amerique 1912 from Great Lakes Distillery and that's pretty good.
I've never actually heard of absinthe being consumed neat, since you can't get «la louche» without slowly adding iced water. I personally don't add too much water, since my go-to is fairly low-proof and it easily gets too diluted
I see the sub # getting bigger ever time a see one of your vids (I've watched them all by the way). Dude keep it up. Your dark and sarcastic humor is what my family enjoyed the most as a kid. Even the food reviews are great. Not trying to be d*** rider right now, (sure it looks that way though) but just trying to encourage someone who's on to something great and original. The whole back story on your previous job and then being forced into reviewing less than reputable beverages, from home no less, really completes the whole vibe of the show. Look forward to the next vid homie.
I'd like to see how he'd rate it if it was diluted between 3 and 5 parts ice water water to 1 part Absinthe since that's how it's supposed to be drunk and enjoyed similarly to a glass of wine.
@@jetex1911 absinthe is a distillate drink in the 100-150 proof range. It's thick and dark, when you add water it ooens up the flavors and also changes to a bright green color. This is why they talk about the " green fairy "
@@jetex1911 no, for christ's sake (Although tbf the ancient greeks and the romans used to dilute their wine with water and honey, but it was a very different wine from the one of today).
Thank you so much for reviewing a bottle of absinthe. It's by far my favorite alcohol. The dreams you can have after attempting to drink a full bottle, vomiting, and trying again are astounding.
Great stuff! I think now I've seen all your reviews 😀 I know this may be obscure, but have you thought about reviewing Fernet-Branca? It's an Italian amaro and think it's right up your alley. Thanks for the consideration.
Fun fact. Absinthe was banned for containing thujone from the wormwood its made with, but vermouth, whose name is the French pronounciation of the word wermut which means wormwood, has never had a reputation for hallucinations nor been banned for sale. The primary thing that makes vermouth bitter is what absinthe got banned for.
I wonder what's going on with people still telling stories about hallucinating off some sort of "european real thing". Is it just people bragging based on myths, or do some tourist bars in czech sell a proprietary mix of household chemicals as "the real thing", or something.
@@Goatmaster-ek8rq It’s probably just BS. There’s some theories out there that the Absinthe reputation came from dirt-cheap varieties being adulterated with chemicals that really did cause psychotic episodes. If so, it had nothing to do with its botanical content and still doesn’t.

Oh, I love absinthe! Its a fantastic spirit paired with gin and Jägermeister and Chartreause and the rest.. I wanna try Unicum! Thats a fine brand you picked! I always drink spirits diluted with chilled water though, especially absinthe. Im impressed by this video, how you pick the flavours taking it neat! I dont think I could drink anything that strong on its own.

Absolutely loving these videos, Prescott! Might I suggest, however, updating your profile picture? It's a great picture of you, but it doesn't really get the tone of the channel across imo.
The way I prefer to drink absinthe is to shake it with ice and simple syrup, pour into a wide glass, and follow the 5:1 ratio of water to absinthe, but use seltzer instead of cold water. Dropping the temperature way down makes it much more enjoyable.
To truly appreciate all the flavors you need to pour it properly, with ice cold water dripped over a sugar cube. It looks like a beautiful cloudy green color when done properly. That opens the flavors up correctly.
I'm trying this stuff right now, first time I've ever tried absinthe. For being 55% it tastes really really good. No gross aftertaste. Just straight candy. Burns like hell afterwards though
@@seangrabowski3142 not when there are several different types of mead now. you can get honey, or some made with fruits, or maple syrup. Just use google my dude. literally the first thing that pops up.
@@derekmcfall7609 if a drink is labeled mead it is because the fermentable sugars come from honey. If there is no honey, it is not mead. Therefore saying “honey mead” is the same as saying here’s some honey honey wine, thus redundant.
Hey PVIII - Would love to see a review of Brennivin, the official spirit of Iceland! Also known as Black Death and seemingly the favorite drink of Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters. It’s pretty crazy stuff!
long story short,when I pulled my own wisdom teeth out ,190° Absinthe is what I used to knumb da pain....would totally recommend pairing this eith DIY home surgery.
Absinthe is no joke. You'd better like licorice flavor or you're going to have a bad time. My preference is with sugar and a splash of water. It's worthy to give it a try.
Bought a bottle of Absinthe in Prague on Halloween with my GF when we were heading to Kraków. Drank it at the Kraków airport waiting on our bus to Oswiecim (Auschwitz) and passed out on the bus. Missed our stop and ended up lost in Poland. It was a great time!
last time i drank absinthe was at a buddies house party, i was already notorious for drinking the stuff in general cause everyone hated it. i dared anyone to take a shot with me and someone did, but he made it better by adding fire to it. so we got some skull shot glasses, poured up, lit up and poured down. we did this twice and we both passed out. i wake up on a bathroom floor, pants down covered in puke. wild fucking days those were
Best pairing suggestion yet. Of course your desires are dino shaped chicken nuggets 😂 Chartreuse next please!!! I have several cocktails on the way with Chartreuse, and would LOVE your take on it!!!
I remember absinthe led to the first time I paid for a hotel room with my own money, after I took a bus the wrong way. Also the only time in my life I actually got a headache from a hangover.
When I was in college I studied abroad, I got absolutely shlammered on absinthe and broke into the London Zoo. I touched a penguin, and was arrested.

That's funny cause in never heard of pouring it over ice. My family has a tradition of doing absinthe shots.
Put a sugar cube in a spoon and then set it over the glass and slowly pour cold water over it. It makes it cloudy.
