89.9%abv .... Why?

**0iD** · 07-03-2009, 12:20 AM

Now i'm a long term lover of Absinthe, it's my fave tipple & yeah, it's potent stuff & generally I dont drink ones above 70%abv, that's about my limit.

This stuff however, just can't be good for you, in any quantity.

**matty-hodgson** · 07-03-2009, 12:30 AM

when it's 90% proof, i reckon so

does that mean that 90% (630ml) of it is pure alcohol and the other 10% (70ml) is just other taste stuff btw?

**0iD** · 07-03-2009, 12:36 AM

yup

**alsenior** · 07-03-2009, 01:21 AM

so its basically cleaning alcohol with a nice after taste

everclear goes up to about 95% and makes no attempt at any faffy aniseed taste so that would be the one to go for matty

unfortunately i cant find a uk retailer

have to be test-tube'd not to notice absinthe.... its pretty potent.

**MadduckUK** · 07-03-2009, 01:42 AM

the stuff i usually bring back from spain (tunel)is pretty drinkable, certainly after the first one its no different from voddy, the stuff at the LAN was pretty violent so it does vary quite a lot

I had a bit in prague - and that hills stuff is like meths.
