Vintage Herbsaint was never an absinthe, as it never contained grande wormwood, it would be more properly called an absinthe substitute. (It's flavor profile is much closer to an absinthe, instead of a pastis)
Herbsaint Original is not sweetened, the vintage Herbsaint from the 1930s and 1940s was not sweetened either.
Herbsaint Original is the last of the post prohibition American absinthe substitutes, it's unique in it's category and is not a Pastis.
Went to Astor today.
No creme yvette!
Same here. I was told by the folks at Astor that it won't be arriving until the fall, at the earliest.
According to Rob Cooper, Yvette will be at Astor on Thursday.
Stop staring at my Harry Johnson!
Ok, I'll stop by tomorrow. But if it's not there, you owe me a drink, Jamie!
No: Astor's owes you an explanation. Why don't you wait until Friday? Just because it's there it doesn't mean that it's on the shelves....
Just called, and I was told that it's in. Guess I'll be paying for my drinks this time. Now whether I pick up the creme yvette or creme yvette aaaaand herbsaint...
Showing up on their website too. Ordered mine...
