Thought I'd pose this to you, since it seems fairly reasonable that you would know:
Is absinthe supposed to have an overpowering licorice taste, and what should one have experienced upon consumption? I am rather disheartened to say I felt nothing but the pangs of an empty wallet and the cringing of my countenance at the taste of the vile liquid. I had such high hopes for it.

there are many different brands, each with a different wormwood content (the hallucinatory element)
...it is typically an aniseed liqueur, hence the 'liquorice' flavor...there has been a revival in absinthe production since the lift of its ban in france ...both aniseed and non-aniseed flavors are now available and, because of chemical scanning, exact replicas of classic brands...but flavor aside a good absinthe should (and i've always found) have a pleasant hallucinatory effect with the usual edginess of such experiences muted by the alcohol...thus if unsatisfied with both flavor and effect, go for a brand with no aniseed and high wormwood content...cheers

Thank you for the insight. Not sure of brand, probably low wormwood to be sold in this country (if it is being sold legitimately. I admire your expertise in such matters.
