Absinthe makes a modern comeback in The Fairy Bomb.

Ok so where to begin..

Firstly Hi IQ Liquor stands for high intensity, hi quality. That is plainly stated on our website which you went to looking for retailers of the product. If you are still looking for where to purchase Fairy Bombs to fulfill your curiosity please just email sales@hiiqliquor.co.nz and we can direct you to your nearest retailer.

Hi IQ are not the producers of the product, we are the agent for the brand in this part of the world. We import it from the Czech Republic along with Absinthe Dabel, Koruna Absinthe and Green Fairy (500ml as well as miniatures). In addition to the Czech absinthes we also sell Absinthe from France (Mythe Absinthe) and Switzerland (Mansinthe, Marilyn Mansons own brand of absinthe).

The Green Fairy Absinthe contains 60%Abv with 7mg of thugone the liquid narcotic from wormwood. Dabel contains 70%abv with the full legal limit of 10mg of thugone. Koruna is 73%abv and 10mg thugone. Mythe is 69%abv and 7.5mg of thugone And finally Mansinthe is 66.6%abv also with the full 10mg of thugone.

I must stress though that the purpose of ranging all the varying kinds of absinthes we do is not to have different strengths or potency of spirit but with the aim of having available varying styles of absinthe as all have very different flavour characteristics and lend themselves better to various styles of drinks.

Absinthe has long had a stigma of being a dangerous substance that has lead to the determent of society and banned in many countries, however as absinthe enthusiasts, as well as the agents of the brands we represent, it is our constant duty to educate the general public on the best and safest ways to prepare absinthe for maximum enjoyment and minimal harm, as with all alcohol consumption. If you had seen any of the point of sale material that accompanies the products that might have been more apparent. As anybody is in the alcohol industry in New Zealand we are bound by the ideals of the sale and supply of liquor act 1989 "to establish a reasonable system of control over the sale and supply of liquor to the public with the aim of contributing to the reduction of liquor abuse, so far as that can be achieved by legislative means".

I hope this helps anyone reading who might have not been the most well informed individual on the topic of absinthe better understand why people have chosen to drink this style of alcoholic beverage since the late 18th century.
