What brands are available in the US ? I had Jade shipped in year ago and really enjoyed it.

I've tried a few of the ones that are available here, and my favorite so far that I've found is Kubler. First had it at a bar in New Orleans, but was able to find bottles here in NY for ~$60, which isn't too bad. Definitely an acquired taste, but is now one of the very few liquor drinks I enjoy.

The domestic absinthe production has exploded in the last 5 years or so, with many fine abisnthes available. A short list of the more popular domestics are:

Pacifique - Pacific Distillery
Walton Waters - Delaware Phoenix Distillery
Meadow of Love - Delaware Phoenix Distillery
Ridge Verte - Ridge Distillery

Jade Nouvelle Orleans is the only Jade that is currently imported to the US, although you can still sneak the over french stuff in like the old days.
