I've had many absinthes, this is not all that great. I's closer to sambuca or ouzo..it's just missing something that would qualify it as absinthe. It tastes ok, but for $25 you can get a bottle of ARAK that will put this to shame. don't waste your $$

Great Absinthe in price and taste.

This is a great value, being cheaper than the average priced Absinthe. The taste is light and clean, not too strong in alcoholic content (only 53%) or in the Anise flavor compared to others. Then again, it's nothing remarkable either. I recommend this to those just starting to try Absinthe, as it's easy on the wallet and on the tongue!

Pleasant & clean. No funkyness but does not come across as anything excepional. I prefer green absinthe over whites, so I give this 3 stars.

I've tasted several brands and like this one very much. Every time I try it I notice diffent notes with a clean aftertaste. A slight mouth numbing effect aswell. All of my friends who have sampled 53 like it aswell. Worth it's price.

I give this product credit for being the first La Bleue on the U.S. market and for being so affordable. Judging it for it's contents alone however... it's quite one dimensional, lacks depth and is overly sweet. I give it a 3 instead of a 2 due to the price point alone. I wish more distillers would follow suit and create an affordable product.
Not worth it, not absinthe
