Here are the ones that made it as far as my apartment......... Favourites for taste/overall are the black "Jade 1901" followed by "Jade Terminus"
Lost a few afternoons/evenings with "L'Enjoleuse"
And for effects the "Kallnacher and the "La Belle Epoque" but I don't really have a complaint about any of the bottles there.
There are a couple of good shops in Paris; Vert d'absinthe, Rue d'Ormesson, 4eme and Caves du Roy, 31 Rue Simart, 18eme and an excellent one in Berlin: Absinthe Depot, Weinmeisterstraße 4.
In each of those they will be happy to recommend a good one. But you will often have to wait behind a tourist saying that they thought it was forbidden and trying to suggest that they are not "real" absinthes, then after having everything explained to them, saying "That's interesting" before leaving, promising to come back and buy something at some point in the future.
The one listed by OP is a kind of happy shopper one, you can find it in supermarkets and the effect is a bit like having half a redbull followed by a pastis BUT it's not that bad and certainly one of the better ones of that kind..........
