absinth: An alcoholic drink which contains wormwood, anise and other herbs is absinth. In the best case, it is a distillate out of these substances, which has an alcoholic content of classic 68% Vol for the end. Alcoholic contents from 45% Vol to 74% Vol do not represent any rareness either.
In which approximately 60% vol.s represent the classic lower pain barrier. In color traditional absinths are colorlessly till very easily often greenish. Piercing colors are often produced artificially.
This is approximately so sensible as if one pours water-color into vodka, only so that he does not look pale so. No absinth drinks are actually perfect absinths without anise. Sugar is not found in the original formula either, in which an easy pre sugaring is not a reference to a bad product yet. A lot of today's absinths which one is, call himself absinth, however, you consider rather inferior in experts, from oil mixtures or macerates (soak of herbs into alcohol).
Absinth is legal and contains regularized sets of Thujone. This substance finds itself again in the wormwood cabbage and reaches it into the absinth. Respectable manufacturers do not pay attention to a high Thujone content and do not promise any high. The fairytale around the Thujone haze is nothing else but a marketing strategy for the purpose of increase of the sales figures.
For ordinary the Thujone content sways depending on harvest of the wormwood cabbage, however, stays far below the legal limits. Addition of wormwood oils for the purpose of constant Thujone content is just as nonsensical.
