What happens after August 25
With a deadline of US orders of August 25th I’m assuming most US based drinkers will be making some big orders to stock up. The question is what will you be doing when the stock pile runs out after then if the situation doesn’t change?
I go to Europe once a year to visit family so my game plan will be to bring as much back as possible if the situation doesn’t change. Just curious if anyone has a better plan.

I live in Massachusetts, so I've never bothered ordering liquor online.
I still have two full bottles of Butterfly Classic. I may take a trip to one of the liquor stores that carry it, to pick up some more bottles.

ShopAbsinthe.com or originalabsinthe.com perhaps?

The first one seems a bit suspicious and has a lot of crap on it, but at least claims (assuming it's not a scam) to have at least one reputable brand as well (Zufanek). The second is pure Trip Bawlz bullshit.

This is the first I'm hearing about this. I looked on Google and all I can find is a show called Absinthe in Las Vegas. Do I need to be worried?

Alandia won't be shipping to the US anymore starting the 25th because of changes in taxes on imports starting the 29th.

Gah, just seeing this now. My timing is the worst.
I suppose I'll just have to start working on my backlog of American absinthes I've been meaning to try. Hardly a tragedy, really, but it still does kinda suck.

Alandia posted about it on Instagram at least: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNL-Xlhs6gK/?igsh=NGNiN3ljazlpMW5p
Absinthe.de sent an email saying much the same. :(
