Absinthe: The World’s Most Dangerous Spirit w/ Evan Rail

Absinthe is a drink that has been both romanticized and demonized over the centuries. While the spirit was a favorite of avant-gardists like Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh and Baudelaire, it was also thought to be hallucinogenic and the catalyst for violent crime.

My guest is Evan Rail, author of “The Absinthe Forger: A True Story of Deception, Betrayal, and the World’s Most Dangerous Spirit”. He tells us about the history of the infamous drink and his investigation into a modern-day counterfeiter who imploded the secretive pre-ban absinthe market with his fakeries.
