D@mn. Not even in NOLA?

The person mostly responsible for getting the absinthe ban lifted is from New Orleans, his name is T.A. (Ted) Breaux. The company he founded, Jade Liqueurs, has a number of variations of absinthe that are based on actual analysis of pre-ban spirits.

A surprising amount of pre-ban absinthe rode out the first half of the 20th century in Spanish or Swiss wine cellars (untouched by two world wars); the stuff still pops up for sale in the collector forums.

Jade 1901 is hailed as one of the most authentic modern expressions (by people who have pre-ban stuff to serve as a comparison). Old Absinthe House should have a bottle of that behind the bar.
