It's basically artificially coloured vodka. It does nothing that the real stuff does, ....including "louching". It tastes like cheap, sweet mouthwash, ..even sharing the same intense lurid green colour, ..which is TOTALLY fake too! If you want to try absinth, go out a buy some real stuff, containing both thujone and wormwood. You may not enjoy that either, but at least you'll be trying the genuine article.

Although I drank quite a lot of it, I have no idea what it was made from. I can't seem to find any reference to it on the net. Can any one help?

When absinth was illegal elsewhere, it was not illegal in Czech. That might be because of the law? When absinth was illegal elsewhere, it was not illegal in Czech.

Stromu slivo as well as Stromu Merunkovice (apricot brandy) are nice and close to the finest, if "blended slivo" class, so are vodkas. And these quality products do not explain whatsoever why they had picked making absinth at all? The European version is indeed red as hell;).

Wasn't Djabel supposed to be red? Did the coloring not get approved? I haven't had Stromu's slivovitz, but I've loved the other brands I've tried. I’m a bit confused.
