The neon-blue Czech stuff, which doesn’t louche, was inauthentic.Absinthe primarily differs in the quality of the production method and its wormwood content. The next issue was that no one had made proper absinthe for 80 years – ‘there was no blueprint for the recipe,’ says Rowley. The subsequent EU directive set a precedent by which Rowley could later go on to test his own La Fée. But with the help of Prague University, the analysis tools were created to do a proper commercial test. ‘I went to three labs in the UK and not one of them could do the proper chemical compound analysis – crazy!’ says Rowley. They teamed up: Moore on the PR and Rowley, among other things, on the creation of a template to legalise the drink in the EU (the Czech Republic was not yet a member).

In reality, absinthe was merely a contributor to the alcoholism that pervaded Europe at the time.īy the time the ban took effect, absinthe had already acquired mythical status through the painters, poets and bon viveurs of the belle époque who venerated it in their art. Nonsense, of course, but that disparaging one-liner remains in hearts and minds, even today. It was widely propagated that absinthe’s principal ingredient, wormwood, had hallucinogenic properties, which made you do irrational, impulsive things.
