9BASE3, I'll let you know when I score a bottle. It only takes 4-7 days for shipping, but I prefer not to divulge the importer. The bottles I am looking at are Spanish, French, and Swiss. They cost (respectively) $110, $135, and $225 a bottle, shipped, including customs fees. They are also money-back guaranteed, in case a bottle gets broken during shipping. I'm specifically looking at the Swiss Absinthe (Le Bleue) as it's supposedly the best in the world...

WishIhadaRX7- I'll take one if you want me to order you a bottle, just let me know which kind and I'll send the order in with your money...9BASE3, same goes for you.
Rated R1-I have heard mixed review of Hill's, most of them not-so-great. How did you find (like) it?

well, one serving is a shot, or 1.5 ounces. 1.5 ounces is roughly 30mL. The bottles are 1L size, so there are roughly 30-35 glasses in each bottle, depending on whether you get the serving size exactly right. The $65 bottle might be alright but that's the kind that will make you sick easier, plus its supposed to taste significantly worse than the more expensive bottles. Apparently, you get what you pay for.
