Absinth isn't illegal at all I drink a fair bit of it and order mine direct from Sebor http://www.seborabsinth.com
It's a nice drink if drank in the tradtional way as it's not just meant to be shotted straight from the bottle.
Sebor is as good a brand as any and also has the highest Thujone content, personally I also think Sebor tastes much nicer than it's competitors . Also Hills and La Fee are also good quality Absinth's, I wouldn't bother with any others.

Does taste nasty if you just shot it I learned from my mistakes and invested in an Absinth spoon makes everything much easier, but I suppose it depends on how often you drink it
