Reply #11: Holy smokes! What a lineup!!! Informal tastings might be a great excuse for a get together.

Everyone could bring a bottle of their favorite. Would surely make for a loooooong and crazy night...or two. But would allow people to try more varieties without the huge expense.

Thanks SO much for sharing your tasting with us. It was surely educational.
I hope you and the Mr. are still able to stand...although verticality is overrated...hehehe.
I haven't even heard of some your entries, so will have to look them up.

Tesha, was that your first taste of Chartreuse? Hope it was ice cold. Unlike absinthe, it can
be kept in the freezer.
I'll have to give the seltzer a try although I really enjoy it straight up, sipping it from a small chilled glass on a winter's night by the fire. I taste a little anise back note in it though don't know if there actually is any in there. It's so wonderfully complex and defies description. I've
actually only had the Chartreuse V.E.P. that has been aged,so haven't even tried the regular stuff yet. That might also make for an interesting comparison.

You didn't mention what Mr. Tesha's favorite was, but I'm guessing it was the Verte. It sounds wonderful and is the absinthe I'd be most likely to try of the ones you've mentioned. Maybe I'll get that one for my friend.

Anyway....bottoms up! Thanks again and have a wonderful evening!
