FYI-

Absinthe that cheap (not that $70 is cheap, per se) is NOT going to be good. Chances are it has a low thujole content (the stuff that makes ppl WANT to drink it), and probably a lot of filler chemicals to make up for it (often bitter and NOT good for you). A DECENT bottle of real absinthe will cost upwards of $150. A GOOD bottle will go for $225 or so (yes, US Dollars).
