I haven't had a chance to go through the archive, so I apologize if this has already been discussed.

Anyone try Lucid yet?

I have. It's alright - not quite as much flavor of anise as I would like. The bottle is quite beautiful, though!

did you buy it locally or mail? Been looking for the best rates via post/courier in the US (from a US distributor).

The liquor store on Palmer Park and Academy has it, hon. We have a bottle.

Havn't opened it yet, but I'll come back and post my thoughts when we do.

also I've heard that Kubler is available now in the states as well, any idea?

Haven't tried Kubler yet. I live in the Los Angeles area, so getting ahold of strange shit is fairly easy for me :). I recommend the Woodland Hills Wine Company - if you Google them, there they are. I managed to get a bottle of Lucid the day it hit the West Coast because those guys are on the effing ball!

We have both the Kubler and Lucid in the house. i have to say i prefer Jade, but at $100 a bottle, mail order, i'll drink what the local Discount Liquor has in stock. For now.

I get my Lucid and Kübler from drinkupny dot com. The prices are reasonable and anything over $50 has free shipping.

Living in Oregon I suspect I wont be able to buy locally for a while.

It's good absinthe. Maybe not great absinthe, but very drinkable. The price varies considerably based on where you buy it. Drinkupny is a good choice, but check your local stores first.

Yes, I've had it. It's $62.99 in Boston.

I don't have much to compare it to, but we enjoyed it. Well, I did anyway. My friends like to call it "French battery acid," because we drank far too much of it one night and made ourselves sick.

Anyway, it has a pleasant flavor (enough anise for me), a natural chartreuse color and louches fairly well.
