I could not find anywhere in the US to buy this.

P.S. if you are just trying this for the first time, I found it to be very discussing, it tasted like black licorice, or more precisely, Jager, and I do not like either.

The absinthe distilled from wormwood (the real deal) of course is not available in the states, but every reputable spirit shop stocks the equivalent, which has the same flavor, without the permanently mind-bending effects which ruined the lives of so many poets, artists and authors. Best way is to open up the yellow pages, make a few calls, and see which store has the best quality absinthe. One good way to tell if they know what they are talking about is to ask them over the phone how it should be served. If they can't answer that question, they probably have never experienced it. It is best poured over a sugar cube in a chilled glass with the most pure water you can get your hands on. It should turn a bit cloudy and taste of anise (licorice) but not like candy, more refined. You can get bootleg absinthe distilled from wormwood, but it tastes the the same and will have devistating affects on your health. Enjoy!

I live in Kansas city and have only seen it in 2 places, but then i wasn't looking for it. Most large liquor stores will order things for you. Find one that is also a liquor distributor if they can find it they will,order it..
