My friend Paul Nathan has recently posted a video of his tour of the Distilleries Françoise Guy, one of the oldest absinthe distilleries in the world. The video follows the process from anise to absinthe. Paul has also posted a great blog about the tour on his Myspace blog.

Last year my girlfriend and I invited her aunt and uncle to one of Paul’s famous absinthe parties in San Francisco. They were worried about the legality and risk of a party like this, to which we responded “The parties are fine, we’ve been going for a few years now with no problems.” So the [...]
