I bought a bottle of it to try it becuase I was curious. I can't stand the taste. I tried it the traditional way with the sugar cube and cold water. It smells so much better than it tastes. I mixed absinthe with everything I could to try to find something that made it good. It was awful. I still have most of the bottle because everyone is afraid of drinking it. I like Jager and I don't think it tastes anything like it.
