The first absinthe to come out of Italy. Marketed around Europe by Wine and Spirits International, UK it's no wonder that it resembles every other thing they handle - bohemian style, boring and artificial.

Musset didn't write the way he did because he drank absinthe, instead he drank for the same reason for which he wrote just like that: namely out of despair.

Already before opening the bottle I pretty much knew what was coming... Let me put it this way, at the back of the bottle, besides the lame story about the founder, it says; Don't drink and drive... OK, I know that. And then, it says; nor drink to excess. Now that's a good point. I will never drink this one to excess, that's for sure. Itäs now located way back on the shelf and it will never see daylight again!
First off, I was dumb enough to try it neat. I've had many drinks that are stronger than the Dedo's 75%. But this one got me burning. Nothing but strong alcohol. So, I didn't even bother bringing out the fountain, just a can of water, and to be on the safe side, I added some sugar. And I added much water. Still, it's not good. A shame this one took up space in my luggage on my way back from england!

It's the new bistro, the new bar in town. A good place to meet when meeting in real life isn't always an option. Meet me on facebook for more updates from the absinthe world.
