Mata Hari Absinthe
The least anisey of any of the absinthes I have tasted. Quite herbal; in fact, it tastes a lot like chartreuse. Made in Austria.

Leopold Brother's Absinthe Vert
Leopold Brothers are micro distillers from Michigan. This one is also quite herby and they use green anise which produces a totally dry absinthe with a subtle licorice flavor .

Lucid Absinthe
Lucid is the brainchild of T.A. Breaux, a devoted absinteur and environmental chemist from Louisiana. He was profiled in the New Yorker a couple of years ago his endeavor seems like a pipe dream. But now he is going full tilt with one of the first two absinthes to hit these shores. Lucid is pale green and has less anis character than Kubler. Spicy and herbal.
