No label on the bottle, a reliable indication of "good stuff".

It is draught Absinthe bought from a shop in Berlin which dispensed a whole range of exotic liqueurs from large glass vessels into a container of your choice.

And yes, it is good stuff.

I'm surprised that I managed to resist opening the bottle since its purchase two months ago.

Are you drinking it from one of those mugs? Absinthe should really be taken from a cortesan's shoe.

As it happens, yes!

I don't do half measures.

70% sounds a recipe for disaster. The nearest I have come is 62% for some Chinese grain-based alcohol, the result of which has been some lost weekends over there

62% can be ignited cold, wonder what 70% would do?

 

[Blue]

start talking to you as soon as you unscrew the top

 

[ianrauk]

God speed you on your epic journey Vernon

If you could see me, I'm doing this. And I'm an actual tramp.

 

[stephec]

Good job you had that fry up earlier.

 

[User6179]

Ambulance phoned, hope we can get you on time

62% is routine...

It's my drink of choice for the first night of a festival or European cycle tour.

70% is a diluted version of the 80% stuff I had as a breakfast drink and nightcap in the Czech republic on this year's cycle tour.

I sometimes had to have a lie down before lunch time.....

God speed you on your epic journey Vernon

You're my bestestest friend.

Anyhow it's a great solvent for the grease from tonight's fryup that's attempting to line my arteries.

Who said two wrongs don't make a right?

You're not right you're wrong see? My mate @ianrauk will agree with me cos he's the bestestest. As for that @Rockymountain he said he was my friend but I know different. Have you seen that bird he's been looking at through his monuckuler that he got for Christmas?

Well she's mine so gerroff her Rocky if you know what's good for you.

The grounds moving....

 

[Saluki]

With or without the wormwood?

Tolouse-Lautrec liked a bit of the Green Fairy, but he isn't ear any more
