No, I have only had absinthe here. I bought the bottle in Ireland, does that count? Word to the wise "Do not drink too much of it"!!!!!!!!!! Me and my buddy had the worst hang-overs of our lives. We are not newbies to drinking. He is a big time home brewer and I am a big time taster/brewer.

This is what happens!

In my days before I was with child, I was able to put some away... We bought a bottle of American absinthe and did it up right, cut it with water, did the melted sugar (my box came with my very own absinthe spoon) and SHEWWWWWWWWWWWW what a night. I won't even begin to elaborate on that night, but let's just say the next morning I had the mild panic attack as soon as I woke up... "where am I? where is my purse? where is my phone? who did I call?"

I don't enjoy nights like that, where I remember nothing after 10pm so I doubt I will be partaking in the EU version.
