Photo 'Verte de Fougerolles' by LDF customer Anna-Lucia Stone
"Only five days after placing my order with you it arrived in California in perfect condition. It was my first purchase with LdF and if the Dollar stays strong it won't be my last. It was a pleasure doing business with you, and I would recommend your site to anyone" MG, USA
"I received my previous order and simply had to place another immediately. Thank you for the extremely fast shipping and discretion on the customs form. My wife and I will definitely be long-term customers and look forward to restocking our supplies when these run out." MU, WA, USA
"Thursday night I ordered five bottles of absinthe from you. This was my third order with you. I was very surprised when the order arrived at 10:00 am on Monday. Thank you for the excellent service. I wish the domestic mail carriers were as efficient as yours. Thanks for the super service." SA, Maine, USA
"I'm amazed right now with your company and product. I ordered two bottles of Jade 1901 and Jade Verte Suisse on Thursday, received my dispatch notice the next day, and on Monday morning received the two bottles in my hands. Simply amazing shipping speed to the USA. I've had domestic orders take 14 days to arrive from a place that was only a 9 hour drive away, and you manage to ship across the Atlantic, internationally, in 3 business days. Thank you, very much, for the profesionalism of your company, and the absolute superior quality of your products. I will certainly be ordering more again from you soon. You have secured all of my business from the other companies." GG, Pennsylvania, US
"Just wanted to thank you for the quickness and professionalism with my two orders. It can get weird ordering something from overseas and with your company it was not. The quickness in which I received the packages is a plus - I will recommend you site!" PT, California, US
"I'm absolutely astonished by the service I received from your Establishment. I'm still pinching myself. You've obviously set the bar for the rest of the world to measure up to in standards of service. Anyone who reads this review,rest assured,THIS company backs up what they advertise on their website, Quality products,speed and service, is'nt that what you look for in a company? I will be placing more orders with you in the future and telling everyone who will listen what a genuine pleasure it was doing business with your company. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my satisfaction." R T, Ohio, USA.
"You guys across the pond there in Surrey are the Greatest! I placed my order on June 10th and it arrived the morning of June 16th. Everything came has expected..UNBROKEN and Professionally Packaged! This was the first time trying one of T.A. Breaux's Jades, and I can not believe what he has done. I purchased the 75cl Jade PF1901 and WOW.. Incredible! I also purchased a 50cl bottle of Absinthe Duplais from Matter-Luginbühl another superb handcrafted Absinthe! I have turned some many people onto absinthe now that they have tried it, and they were all surprised on how smooth the Jade PF1901 and the Matter-Absinthe Duplais were for being so strong in alcohol content. The Reservoir and the Grand Pontarlier Glass I purchased as well just make the whole experience complete and the feel so good in your hand too." IC, Pennsylvania, USA
"I was just reading some of the customer comments on your site and wanted to add my own. First of all, I have ordered several bottles of Absinthe from you, and ALL have been absolutely wonderful. In addition, the bottles arrive usually within 3 BUSINESS DAYS! From the UK to California, and that's about as far as you can get! I must also add that one of my orders unfortunately arrived broken. However, I contacted you, sent a few pictures of the broken bottle, and had a new bottle AGAIN within 3 days. No hassle, no problem. I've just ordered my first bottle of the Edouard 72 and I can't wait for it to arrive, and I look forward to trying many other Absinthes in the future. I would HIGHLY recommend this site to anyone who is looking for quality Absinthe, be they a newcomer to the Green Fairy, or an accomplished Absintheur. Again, keep up the good work, and keep that Absinthe flowing!" CG California, USA
"I just wanted to say how pleased that I am with your establishment. I ordered on Sunday evening EST and i was awakened to the <Actinic:Variable Name = 'courier'/> this morning, Friday. A 5 day turnaround time to ship to Massachusetts is amazing. All bottles made it intact, all professionally double wrapped in styrofoam and bubblewrap. I cannot wait to place another order from you.
Thank you so much." NS Massachusetts, USA
"I just recieved my bottle of 1901. First the bottle is absolutely gorgeous. Really sets the mood. As I prepared a dose, the color and fragrance had me mesmerized. As I slowly added water with the dripper. The louche was slow and beautiful. I let it sit for about 10 minutes. The fragrance filled my apartment. The taste and mouth feel was superb with the anise, fennel and wormwood each taking it's turn. I've purchased many bottles of your other Jades, which are all excellent, but I have to say this is the finest Absinthe you've created and now my favorite. It's kinda funny but I have a hard time getting family and friends to try Absinthe because of the "bad rep" it has gotten. But once they try it it's love at first sight and taste. I will be ordring more as Christmas gifts. Thanks for a great Absinthe and the ordering and shipping has always been first rate. Thanks Again!" TH, Minnesota, USA
"I just want to tell you that you have the best commercial website on the web. When I access your site it feels like I am entering a vertual store where I am known and the people care about me. I live in a rural area and just about everything must be either ordered from catalogs by phone(My wifes preference) or from the internet(My preference). I have endured utter frustration when just trying to buy goods from user unfriendly sites that made me want to heave my computer out of the window. With your site its so easy it is hardly believable. You might consider a second carrer designing websites. Now for the good part. I received my last shipment super quick as usual and opening it I held in my hands two examples of the finest Absinthe I've ever seen. I felt so lucky to be able to sample the art of Ted Breaux, who is a genius, and to be in possion of something that only a very few wealthy collectors could have dreamed of a short time ago. I have been a subscriber to Wired magazine since the first issue and when the article came out last fall and mentioned your site there was no way I wasn't going to try a purchase. My first choice was Nouvelle Orleans. My only previous exposure to absinthe was with the Czech rotgut. After trying to drink <Actinic:Variable Name = 'edited'/> I realized what should have been an obvious truth: Czechs drink beer. Czech beer is very good. Czechs don't drink absinthe, and can't even spell it. The <Actinic:Variable Name = 'Nouvelle'/> Orleans was just what I thought Absinthe must have been like a hundred years ago. Color, flavor profile and louche was exactly like what I had read about. After that experience there was no chance that I wouldn't try the other Ted Breaux varities. I hope that he keeps on making Absinthe of this quality because if he does I will be buying it." DK, New Mexico, USA
"I just wanted to drop you one more line. I'm sitting here this evening with my first glass of Edouard. I can honestly say that until you have tried absinthe made like this, you really can't describe it to anyone else. If this is the calibre of what was made "pre-ban", I can understand why it was so popular. This is a very nice drink! It will definitely bring a little bit of summer to our cold Minnesota winter. You probably hear this a lot, but thanks to Ted and LDF for resurrecting absinthe of this calibre. Very tasty indeed." BR, Minnesota, USA
"I Tried the Absinthe Edouard 72 on Saturday. The colour is SO beautiful!! Before the water is added it is a delight to behold, I could gaze at it all day; no wonder Oscar Wilde compared the colour of Absinthe to the beauty of a sunset! The only green absinthe I have seen has been the awful artificial Czech stuff, the difference between Bond Street emeralds and green day-glo paint! After adding water the spectacular louche is EXACTLY as I have seen it in paintings by Lautrec, Manet, Van Goch, Piccasso, and in the old posters. The smell and taste are wonderful and the effect divine! Calm and softly serene, but very aware and clear. The whole experience was wonderful, all I ever hoped for and anticipated when I sent for the Jade Absinthe. It is expensive but it's worth every single penny. To know how much time, care, and attention to detail was spent on producing this product makes me enjoy and appreciate it even more. I am now completely spoiled and can't conceive of drinking anything of inferior quality to this. It will have to be Jade from now on. Unless there is a comparable absinthe on the market that is substantially cheaper, which I very much doubt." TB, Cheshire, United Kingdom
"I placed an order with absinethonline.com back on june 25, as you can probably see from the forwarded mail. I have received my shipment today (june 29). If you neglect the non-business day weekend, that means there was only a 3 day place order to transit to receipt of shipment period. THATS RIDICULOUS!!! The 5 day time you mention on your across-seas shipping is already insanely fast. Way to raise the bar, now if you could only get other companies to follow such an amazing act, everyone would be much happier! ha! Anyway, I just wanted to give my sincere words of praise, I can see why you are so highly mentioned! I've not yet tried the product, I'm saving it for a special occasion next month, but I have no doubt in my mind if the quality of the product is 1/10th as good as I've been told, there will be no dissapointment here." JK, Iowa, USA
"I just received my latest order from your company and once again, it was delivered in a timely and efficient (almost clockwork) manner. I have made several orders recently and I remain impressed with quality of products and the ease with which business is conducted though your website. I am compelled to send this message and offer high praise to your company. The products are excellently made, reasonably priced, and presented in such a manner that adds dignity and legitimacy to an oft vilified and poorly understood product. Thank you and keep up the good work! I look forward to making many more orders in the future as well as telling all of my friends about your products." TVZ, California USA
"Just wanted to thank you for your amazing service. (Not to mention your excellent products.) I placed my order late Thursday night, early Friday morning where you are, and recieved my package this morning(Monday)! How do you do it? Star Trek transporter seems to be the only way possible. That's why I stay a loyal customer. Thanks again." RG, New York, USA
"I just arrived home and found to my surprise my Nouvelle-Orleans which I ordered only last Friday. In my excitement I opened the package and found this exquisite bottle of Absinthe. While I normally only indulge in Absinthe on the weekends, I could not resist and opened the new arrival. I can hardly believe the difference between this multi-layered experience between this and the others I have tried. The louche was the best I have ever seen and the taste and following evening were the best I have experienced. I recommend Nouvelle-Orleans with a 10 and look forward to my next order from your line of Absinthe." SB, Colorado, USA
"I've just received my order and I couldn't possibly be more pleased! The Un Emile 68 was my first taste of absinthe, and I can only hope that all of the others I plan to try can only live up to it. I ordered the replica absinthe fountain as well, and it is beautiful and worth every reasonably priced penny. It truly completes the experience, and any absintheur should own one. And I can't believe the speed at which you are able to deliver your products! I received my order from the UK to Texas exactly two-and-a-half days from the night I placed the order! Inconceivable! Thank you, again." RJ, Texas, USA
"I am glad to say that the experience of the green hour is as has its been described. It was my first experience with any absinthe, it was wonderful, the taste, the different aromas, texture, and although I don't know which herb produces which taste, the complexity of the Verte Suisse is marvelous...I think I'm spolied for life, anything less than the best just will not do !" BW, Alabama, USA
"I hope this is the right avenue to take regarding feedback on the order that I placed with you on Oct. 5th. I received my order this morning (Oct. 8th), in perfect condition. I am quite amazed at the quick shipping response from your company (UK to California, on my doorstep in what is actually less than 3 days), and will continue to do business with you in the future, and recommend your company to any that will listen to me. Your professionalism and superior customer service are truly appreciated, especially in today's marketplace." JO, California USA
"WOW! I was shocked! The order was sent out on Wednesday and arrived on Friday?! That is amazing! Thanks so much - not only for the speed of delivery, but also the quality of the product - very nice! You have a truly satisfied customer." MB, Washington, USA
"I admit that I know nothing about recent scientific advancements, but have to say that I was quite shocked to learn that Star Trek type transporters have been developed! How else could I have recieved a shipment in California from the U.K. in such a short amount of time. Thank you Thank you Thank you. It is 8/25 and I am still awaiting an order from another site that I placed 7/16. I recieved your order in less then three working days!! I am new to the lovely elixer, and am curious about many different brands. I hope theres a chance you add to your selection. After my experiences w/ other companies I know there is very little chance I will ever order from anywhere but here. I will have more bottles "beamed" shortly." MG, California, USA
"I do not consider myself an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I must say if Nouvelle-Orléans is modeled after one of the best true absinthes ever made, then I can clearly see why the green hour became so popular. This is a wonderful experience, I have just had my first taste of this elixir and I can't find the words to do it justice. It has a wonderful nose, fine louche, and a balance that I have never experienced in any of the others I have ever tried (and I have had a few of your other fine offerings). Thank you for offering us such a quality product with such great service. One satisfied customer." SR, Connecticut, USA
"Once again I have received the order very rapidly! You make me feel like you're just sitting there waiting for an order from me and the second you get it you whisk it to the airport to be flown by a pilot just sitting around waiting to fly an order to me. Wonderful service; thank you!!" AS, North Carolina, USA
"I was very impressed with your customer service, you were very quick to respond to e-mails and address changes. I received my shipment within 3 days of placing the order for it. I am very impressed that something came from oversees in such a timely manner. I am very satified with the product. Because my first time experience with your company was such a positive one, I definately will be continuing do business with Absinthe Online." TF, Arizona, USA
"I placed my order on Wednesday and it was waiting for me this morning, not even a full two days later. I just want to say good-God that was speedy service!! I have never heard of any overseas shipment, espeicially on any of my Absinthe orders, taking so unbelievably little time! I know who I will be shopping with in the future. Thanks A Lot!!" JF, California, USA
"I have to admit; I was VERY skeptical about ordering items from overseas. I put in an order on Tuesday, and got a call from my office on Friday informing me that a package from Surrey, U.K. was in! Imagine...an order from Surrey all the way to Richmond, VA in the states in only three days! And the product was intact and delicious! And to think I was going to wait until August to experience absinthe first-hand during my trip to Ireland & England! Kudos to you! Can't wait to sample another variety soon! It isn't very often I can rave about customer service, but this can sure qualify! If anyone wants to ask where to order quality absinthe, I can tell them where to go to buy!" LB, Virginia, USA
"Recently I purchased a bottle of Un Emile 68 from your store. Let me say, thank you! Both the product and the transaction have been nothing short of wonderful. Your website was easy to navigate, and I felt comfortable through the entire ordering process. I was somewhat worried about having liquor shipped from the UK to the States, but my purchased arrived in less than a week, and with no complications from customs or the courier service. After sampling the absinthe last night, I am a very, very happy customer, and will definitely be ordering again from you in the future. Please pass on my commendation to the distillery as well. They should be proud of themselves, the absinthe was a real treat - such a light flavor, sweet but with a fragrant bouquet, a pleasant warmth, and no distasteful alcohol aftertaste. It was just wonderful." MD,Texas, USA
"It's not very often I feel compelled to praise a product or service; you've given me reason to do both! I cannot thank you enough for your fast response to my questions and the amazingly fast delivery time. I placed an order on a Friday and it was here on Tuesday morning-- I couldn't believe it! I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive about ordering at first, but now I know why you have such wonderful comments from people all over the world. I'm proud to be one of them and I look forward to future purchases." BR, Michigan, USA
"Incredible service! I ordered on Monday and Friday my 2 bottles were delivered in good condition on my front porch in Richmond, VA. I've never ordered anything outside the US before and to be honest I was a little apprehensive, but
