Then I can tell you you'd definitely not like it. The prettiest thing about it is the name (I do like the word Absinthe) and the colour.
Unless you like licorice times 1,000, you won't like Absinthe. Now that it's legal again in the United State, me and some friends went in on a $65 bottle of the stuff. It was horrid.
Hmm Google brings up this:

still tastes like licorice, and there's
nothing subtle about it. Think green Nyquil times a thousand. We tried the sugar cube melty thing, ummmm no. Maybe if you dumped a handful of sugar cubes in it...
