I've found
this is the best site for rating Absinthe.
I have some
Kuber at the moment which is quite tasty but clear/white so it looses the "green fairy" appeal.
A lot depends on how you feel about the licorice taste of many absinthes, while the good one's get more herbal flavorings, the licorice is a prdominant taste which makes some people dismiss it right away.
While some say the sugar is unnecessary for contemporary absinthes, I confess I love the ritual associated with the drink - it's own tea ceremony - besides it's easy to pick up the spoons these days - I found them at Bevmo.
I am still looking for the glassware though.
