Green Angel is produced "exclusively" for the Heidelberg distillery in Germany.This Absinth is delicious when shot, very bitter when louched with sugar and water ... with sugar. I prefer to shoot this and it may taste really good in a sipping pipe. However, when it's mixed with water, it dilutes slightly. The sweetness thins out and the bitter is allowed to shine.
This absinth doesn't contain a lot of alcohol. I think it's only 50 proof, which also strenghtens it's shot-ablilty. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's not the amount of alcohol that makes a good absinth. Too much alcohol simply drowns out the flavors leaving you with a burned throat, coughing and needing to breath. Then, you get those shot shivers.
In the end, I highly recommend this absinth. If I were to give it stars or something, it'd be 4 out of 5 stars.
