Stay away from Torment Verte, as it tastes like my grandfathers 1960's era aftershave smells like. I have 95% of the bottle left, and if you really must try it and are coming to Internext, I'll give it to you for free. I will never put something that horrible in my mouth again.

Kubler is a not as bad as Torment Vert, but it's not great either, and is a poor example of Absinthe. Absente is not absinthe; it's pastis. The new version they have the supposedly cointains wormwood isn't distilled like absinthe, so it too, is garbage.
