Jake/emcclary,
There is no need to have to try to get absinthe from overseas. It is now being made in the U. S. and can bought. Some of the best verte is made by St. George Spirits out of California.
Here is a online retailer that had some:
ST GEORGE ABSINTHE 750
Here is the link to St. George Spirits and if you scroll you can see a nice little vide that tell you all about it.

The St. George stuff is a verte style and is a little different than most of Czech stuff. Actually much better and more of a classic and superior style.
Have fun!
