Yes. I have a bottle imported from Checz. It tastes like cough syrup.... sipped out of a coffin that's been occupied for about 50 years. And with the amount I've consumed, still has yet to make me "trip" I usually just end up falling alseep. Kinda reminds me of smoking up..a leeeetle bit.

you won't find anyone to import it here. it's not legal for sale in the usa (yet) but it's not hard to find someone outside the country to export it directly to you. the webpage listed above will export it, but won't take responsibility if customs inspects the package on it's way to you and confiscates it.

they sell pernod 68 too...which is the one in maxim :thumbup:

I tried some Russian Absinthe while I was in Italy last summer. From what I remember, which isn't a lot, it tasted awful. But it didn't mess me up or anything. Damn...
