Like I said, it's kind of like a 'lucid' drunkenness. You know how when people drink, they get really fucking stupid? Well with Absinthe, that doesn't seem to happen. You still get drunk, but you actually become more lucid and more creative. I think that's why so many artists liked to drink it (or maybe because it was dirt cheap, and wine was very expensive
)

My all time favourite is
Duplais from Switzerland. It's a 500ml bottle, but 72% alcohol so will go a long way (dilute it 3:1 or more - play around with it, the flavour really changes depending on how diluted it is)
You might also want to try
Clandestine, which is a blue absinthe, for something different. They have a
2 pack available for a 10% discount, if you guys do a group buy.
Personally I am partial to Spanish absinthes, since they were the first to make 'real' (if not completely traditional) absinthe back in the late 90's when absolutely everything was garbage, and it was not being made in large quantities in the quality countries like Switzerland. I always liked
Segarra, although compared to the high quality Swiss stuff you can buy today, it might not stand up to it.
Whatever you guys decide,
do NOT be fooled into buying French absinthe! It is almost all garbage. It's just the same people making crap from other countries, but do it from France for marketing purposes.
Stick to Swiss, and in any case you should confirm with Fee Verte's buying guide.
