Talk:La Clandestine Absinthe

message: I have added the NYT article from the Wormwood Society. Alternatively we could link to the San Fran chronicle copy of the article which is the same but without pictures, or a scan of the NYT, apparently from AP, Switzerland.
The Absinthiades awards were mainly covered on the forums (some people did not like the results); I thought it might same fairer to link to one of those, but maybe the French forum was not the correct one. I have currently linked to the absinthe-suisse.com coverage of the results. Alanmoss 10:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This article has been marked as "no source." I have no problem on adding sources, but I am wary of turning this page into advertising. I'd appreciate community comments on the following as possible sources:
"Popular" - justified since 
1. La Clandestine is the only absinthe sold on every vendor site that is recommended by the two major absinthe forums/information site.
2. It is the first brand mentioned on the Wormwood Society list of recommended brands.
3. Out of several hundred absinthes, it was rated 3rd most popular in a poll of c. 20 absintheurs on Wormwood Society.
4. The most popular absinthe brand on MySpace with over 750 friends.
These may seem like advertising to some, but they support the word "popular."
"Launched in 2005" - from a legal viewpoint true; in line with the date of legalisation of absinthe in Switzerland. I guess I could add that.
"Said to be based on 1935 recipe," "circulating unofficially," "one of the first distillers to get a licence:" all claims come directly from the brand website. I can provide direct links from the article to the relevant website pages. 2nd and 3rd quotes can be independently backed up (some from French language sites).
Comments, please. I'll add most of these unless people comment that I shouldn't. Alanmoss 05:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: No Source?

message: This page reads like a ham-fisted online ad:
"La Clandestine Absinthe is a popular [1], prize-winning [2],
"It was this absinthe which won the Golden Spoon award at the Pontarlier Absinthiades in 2005 and 2006"
"the Golden Spoon winner for the second consecutive year"
"Winner of the Best Label and Presentation for all Spirits and Absinthe Gold Medal Winner"
Wow! It would be a challenge to see if anyone could squeeze in another mention of "prize winning" into the text.

thread_title: Prize Overkill

message: In June 2008, the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved La Clandestine for sale in the United States.[5] when u click the link the doc says that "The finished product must be "Thujone-free" Does this mean that there are two kinds of this absinthe, one for Swiss and one for America? If this is the case, shouldn't the article should say so...or is it exactly the same product? Montyzoomer (talk) 11:01, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The odd language the government chose is explained a bit in the absinthe article (I think) In the US "thujon free" means 10 mg/L thujone or less.  So if Clandestine fit that number before (also an EU requirement without added labeling) then it will be the same product. -- Ari (talk) 16:39, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Thanks. So is it the same or not? I've googled a bit and found this on a website called FeeVert: I find the Nouvelle Orleans news particularly interesting, especially since its thujone content tested at well over 20ppm some time ago. That does not answer the question about La Caldestine though which is talked about as well. I'm writing an article about it and the info is very confusing.Montyzoomer (talk) 09:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
