Does your reproduction taste the same as a vintage absinthe?
It is not technically possible to go back to the 19th century.The vintage bottles and samples aged so long so that there is no alcohol bite and all the essencial oils and alcohol had more that enough time to blend.We make it as close as it can be technicaly possible and there are quite a lot of similarities.
Why do you sell Salvia Divinorum?
Some absinthe advertisements claim that absinthe has some powerful properties which make you hallucinate and refer to the 19th century poets and artists who seem to experienced that.In reality, not only did they drink absinthe but other drinks and also took drugs and the combination over time may have developed some signs of hallucination.Superiour quality absinthe is a refreshing drink with properties that can not be found in any other alcoholic beverage. However, it is far from signs of hallucination.
Salvia Divinorum on the other hand contains Salvinorin A which is a powerful stimulant and causes a substational alteration of mind and is legal in many states and countries around the world.
