The Purple Whiskey

The Purple Whiskey, sometimes commonly referred to as Absynthium, is one of the party's hard liquors of choice. Made with Absynthium Orientalis, this liquor is a deep purple and ranges from acting just like a potent alcohol to being a hallucinogen, depending on the tolerance of the drinker. It is favored by drunken masters, and is questionably legal in most areas.
The Whiskey is made by filtering malted barley mash through twelve feet of lit flashstones and used leaves and stems of the Absynthium Orientalis plant after maturation. The aging takes place for fifteen years in charred oak barrels, and then for a further twenty in old casks made of Acadia Wood, which gives the drink it's distinct purple color. The quality of the ingredients makes the Purple Whiskey one of the most expensive non-magical drinks in the world, second only to Reme Chartain XXVI du Malvont brandy. The drink can cost up to 200 gold per bottle, and is only made at a special artisan plant in Harvest Eye, Goneril. A one-ounce drink contains 120-proof alcohol by volume, 5 mg of "blue tar" Wolves' Milk and 10 mg of the active ingredient of The Green Liquid, in addition to any magical or alchemical qualities granted from ingesting Acadia Wood. 
While not commonly outright illegal due to it's high cost and non-addictive nature, many countries regulate imports due to it's potency. It is commonly served in adventure bars due to it's high cost.
