" It's an art. It's a science. It's a marriage of vapor and water. From the elite to the illegal, the banned, to the celebrated, the distillation of spirits is a 50 billion dollar a year business. We will visit brandy, liqueur, moonshine, and absinthe distilleries to see how this magic is done. A trip to the Christian Brothers Distillery in northern California will reveal the secrets of how brandy is made and in the Deep South we observe a working moonshine still. Then it's off to France, where we visit the Courvoisier Cognac distillery and at the Jade Absinthe Distillery we see how this controversial drink is made. Includes expert commentary and historical perspective given by Bon Appetit's Anthony Dias Blue."

I am so fascinated by this mysterious drink, and am highly intrigued by the paraphernalia. Absinthe dispensers are incredibly beautiful, so are the spoons, and its nickname, the Green Fairy, gives it a mystical air. I will do a special line of paintings all about absinthe and its beauty. One day I'd like to get my hands on a legal taste of it.

So they banned this based on lies and money and it only took 100 years to lift the ban. Don't you just love government?

This is the first time I heard about absinthe. I used to watch this show 24/7. I wish history channel would get back to more shows like this. I understand that the shows they have now are more proffitable, but maybe they should just make an extreme jobs channel. lets face it, half of those shows aren't history shows.

To all missinformed people that like pseudo-crap absinthes and say this is not real absinthe, and also compare it to cannabis. Please dont be ignorant and read more. Look for the Wormwood society association and look for science documents done by highly respected science people.

They legalised this.... But weed, is still illegal. What has this world come to?
