Are you saying that it's a myth that 70% of absinthe is little more than licorice flavored vodka? Also are you stating that "Never ever buy absinthe out of a clear bottle" is a myth? Or is that advise? We just featured this article on Slow Death in the Afternoon Podcast ( http://www.slowdeathpodcast.com ) and were a bit unclear about #1 and the bonus.

Bryan Alex isn't the only one from Obsello that has keen knowledge on absinthe! The first time I spoke with them, I was initially confused when Davis mentioned B. Alex, as he just referred to him as "Alex". "Alex has blah blah,.., Best Regards, Alex." A little confusing, but it was quickly cleared up.:) You can buy absinthe out of a clear bottle, you just need to take extra care to keep it out of the sun so the chlorophyll doesn't break down (altering the flavour)...this of course can be remedied by finishing the bottle promptly, ha ha. Some producers do this purely for presentation purposes (like Vieux Carre), but not many, for exactly the reason you mentioned. Also, clear absinthe is usually bottled in clear bottles.
