They just made absinthe legal in Columbus, OH last couple years. I went out with a couple guys friends one night, and they decided to buy me one since I never had it before. They sold it with the traditional method of dissolving a sugar cube on a spoon over a glass of absinthe. The smell coming from the bottle was pure alcohol. The taste was like a medicine to me. If you like Jagermeister, you would be ok. I didn’t mind it that much, but I wouldn’t get it again. :) I had a buzz after one, so I stopped drinking after that.
