This is great stuff! Well worth the money. This kit will last a long time and you will certainly get your money's worth out of it. It would cost you a small fortune to purchase as many bottles of absinthe as this kit will produce. As for the absinthe itself, it is absolutely wonderful. It tastes just as good as any absinthe you will find, yet has more thujone than any absinthe you will find in the US, and more even than many imported absinthes. In short, you really will get real absinthe that louches beautifully, tastes great, and has great effects, all for a fraction of the cost! It really pays to make your own and it's fun!
