GSN Review: Lucid Absinthe

Banned for 100 years, March 5th, 2017 marked the 10th Anniversary of the repeal of the Absinthe ban in the US.  Chemist and Master Distiller Ted Breaux was a leading force in disproving the myths which had plagued the storied spirit and helped convince the FDA to remove the ban and allow Absinthe back into the US on March 5, 2007.

If you're going to be making a neutral spirit in France then the beet is the best darn plant. The reason Rhum from islands originally controlled by France contain cane juice instead of just molasses is that France had such a huge sugar beet industry that they didn't need the sugar from the Caribbean.
