Absinthe is made by distillation, such as alcohol distillation or steam distillation (oil mix).Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05636591288630853545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356681204833362925.post-54353192188350930342007-03-24T17:50:00.000+00:002007-03-24T17:50:00.000+00:00There's a drabsinthe commenting on a couple of my ...There's a drabsinthe commenting on a couple of my comments here on another blog. Shame he cannot comment here for some reason.<BR/><BR/>My first comment: "Real absinthe should contain the so-called holy trinity of wormwood, anise and fennel as well as other plants. The best real absinthes will be distilled with no artificial colourings added, albeit other absinthes which don't meet that criteria could still be considered real (just not as good)." <BR/><BR/>drabsinthe comments: "What about the French macerates that are judged at the Golden Spoon? They are not absinthe, Alan?"<BR/><BR/>My reply: "I don't say that at all. R-E-A-D what I wrote, drabsinthe."<BR/><BR/>My second comment: "On a side note (for a later article) only Switzerland has laws insisting that absinthe made and/or sold in Switzerland is distilled and that it has no artificial colourings: the French do not have such a law in place."<BR/><BR/>drabsinthe comments: "Therefore Alan’s brew is the only one you should buy?"<BR/><BR/>My reply: "I don't say that at all. I am stating a fact. If drabsinthe chooses to extrapolate that fact, that's up to him."Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093173140659282142noreply@blogger.com
