As ...Thanks for setting the record straight Brian.<br /><br />As an absinthe connoisseur myself, I am also Polish and Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka is the only Vodka I will drink. The real stuff goes down smooth like water. Be very careful of imposters. The only brand I will drink is Zubrowka made by "Polmos Białystok".AbsintheMan.comhttp://www.absintheman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708872970666385571.post-67938736127103429822009-05-11T08:05:00.000-07:002009-05-11T08:05:00.000-07:00Anytime. :)

Recent studies have shown that many historic brands would actually fall below that limit as well. Many others would have fallen below the EU limit of 35 mg/l.<br /><br />Thujone itself does not carry over easily into the distillate. You can use substantially more Grande Wormwood in an absinthe than what was used in the early 1900s and still fall below the limit.<br /><br />Hope that helps.<br /><br />Brian Robinson<br />Review Editor<br />The Wormwood SocietyBrian Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765022588638867910noreply@blogger.com
