At our local liquor warehouse there are a few brands, memorably a Czech one with (IIRC) a minuscule trace of thujone, an African one (I think from SA). The 'Moulin Rouge association is an interesting one, for those who enjoyed that film some years ago.
I found a few bits of info with google - most notably its association with gothic kids here. No mention of brands but this 2002 article is good for context.
This article must have had a nice
dampening effect on non-goths's interest in the drink in Melbourne.
Absinth...makes the heart grow fonder [The Age, 2002]
Absinth is back. The drink known variously as the Green Fairy or the Green Death, the favourite tipple of writers and painters such as Manet, Baudelaire, Wilde and Van Gogh, the drink reputed to cause hallucinations, convulsions and death is now available at a Melbourne bar near you.
...``The colour was often used for dramatic effect, it looks poisonous and somewhat evil. Champagne is painted as sparkling and beer drinkers are painted as healthy and jolly but, in the paintings of Manet and others, absinth drinkers look as though they've just swallowed arsenic.''
