What is the thujone content of your absinthes and isn the highest level the best?
The thujone content has nothing to do with the quality of absinthe. Recent studies have proved that the best vintage absinthes were actually much lower in thujone than previously believed. Beware of marketing gimmicks that promote high thujone levels! If an absinthe is correctly distilled, using the same ingredients and methods of the best distilleries of the past, the end product will actually be quite low in thujone. The thujone contents (though slightly varied) of all our absinthes are within the norms of the US and European Union limits, (less than 10mg/liter). That said, the quality and authenticity of absinthes varies drastically. This is a tasting party. We serve only distilled absinth approved for sale in the US, so we are assured of a baseline of quality but there is definately a range in both quality and flavor.
