Absinthe on CBS… or CBS on absinthe. Whatever.

For those who are unaware - absinthe is “kind of a big deal” in America presently. Having recently become legal to import and sell la fee verte in the United States, people are falling over themselves to get their hands on a bottle, it would seem. The above photograph was taken at the St George Spirits distillery in December of last year, showing the queue of over 100+ people waiting to buy a bottle of their newly-released absinthe. Keen as mustard, I tell you.

In January of this year America’s CBS aired a story on absinthe which, on a backdrop of well-trodden history and lovely pictures, features quality interviews with Ted Breaux, as well as interesting and timely commentary on the overwhelming public response to absinthe finally becoming legal in the United States. Please to enjoy.
