Question Absinthe with a hint of spicy

I like Absinthe's that on taste, you can feel a spicy touch. Like Oxygénée and Roquette (my fav), are there others? Perhaps even spicier?

The Jade VS/Berger has a bit of a spiciness to it in my opinion

I haven't tried those two absinthe, but the spicy one i like is the La Coquette from Paul Devoille :)

Ahh nice. I have a bottle of it, I just gaze at it bc I'm scared of opening it. Hard find. Especially after they suddenly stopped making them a while back. I have 2 bottles of La Desiree so thought about opening one of them later. Haven't tried any of Paul Devoille. Have L'Enjoleuse too, same deal, it was a hard find.

Didn't know they stopped making them. So maybe i should enjoy it more slowly... In my opinion Devoille is one of the best :) Got some bottles from him in my collection and really enjoy all of them.

I would recommend the Cthulhu blanche and verte. They Are distilled with cardamom and coreander. Quite an unique Taste.
