WHAT: Taboo Genuine-Absinthe
IN HONOUR OF: Oscar Wilde
WHERE: Vernon, BC
WHY: Absinthe’s historical reputation for inducing irrational and lascivious behaviour is abetted by its wormwood content. Wormwood contains the psychoactive compound thujone. Contemporary wisdom asserts that if you drank as much absinthe as Oscar Wilde did, your fucked-uppedness would be entirely attributable to another mind-altering substance called alcohol. This quality, all-natural, Canadian-made absinthe is a great way to get your Green Fairy party started. But please note its 60 per cent alcohol content and thin it accordingly with water or your Pride will surely goeth with a fall.
PRICE: 500 ml/$59.95
AVAILABILITY: At selected Vintages outlets (product #162099)
