There was a GREAT article in the NY Times about absinthe, featuring reviews of three different kinds, including the Hangar One one. Sounds similar to pastis, but maybe more delicate flavored.

Man. It was mandatory to drink Pastis in Provence, so I did as not to be rude to my various hosts. But it was disgusting.
I know nothing about Absinthe. But if it's like Pastis I won't be trying it.
I always learn so much on this forum.

The NYT article is very good - worth the registration. I can't wait to try the St. George Spirits version! From the article:
St. George, which will cost around $75, is the most layered of the three. Mr. Winters has a history of capturing delicate aromas in a bottle (a vodka of his called Hangar One smells just like mandarin blossoms) and his Absinthe Verte is full of fresh green herbs. Anise and fennel make their scheduled appearance but hardly dominate.
