In Absinthe Original Liquor store, they offer a wide selection of different styles of Wormwood Absinthe for sale.

Absinthe should be used primarily because of its rich culture, fascinating taste, and, of course, unique drinking ritual. Absinthe made with a larger amount of wormwood has a stronger taste profile. Distilled absinthe is a bit bitter, but it also has a very delicious fragrant and floral taste. So you can say that strong absinthe tastes different than absinthe made with less absinthe.
Pre-ban absinthes contained up to 260 mg/l (ppm) of thujone, it is absolutely not truth that the level of thujone was low - it is a strong marketing gimmick spread by US producers and importers because US law does NOT allow to sell or import absinthe with more than 10 mg of thujone, which is technically thujone-free.
