(I’m technically still an affiliate, and didn’t hear even a peep via email that the programme was shutting down or that they were no longer going to be selling absinthe. Nice one.)
If you visit their site now, you’ll find:

eAbsinthe, the world’s first online absinthe store, is evolving…

As of today, eAbsinthe will be evolving into an information database. Purchases can still be made though our recommended partner …

And so on.

The online absinthe space has certainly been evolving since the 2007 US legalisation. I imagine eAbsinthe relied heavily on US customers and now that many US residents can easily buy absinthe of better quality than the (non-XS) range of La Fée locally, it is unsurprising that a small range shop such as it was would continue.

My last affiliate questions were never answered, and now I know why.
RIP, eAbsinthe.
