Why are some bottles labeled Absinthe, Absenta or Absinth?
In some cases, it is a language difference, while Absinth produced in the Czech Republic can describe a different product. Absinthe is the spelling used by the Swiss and French, who were the first to produce and distribute absinthe. Absenta is the spelling that is often used for Spanish produced absinthe. Absinth is the spelling that is often used for German produced absinthe. Many products produced in the Czech Republic (Bohemian-style) as Absinth contain little to no anise, fennel or other herbs normally found in traditional absinthe. What they do share in common with traditional absinthe is wormwood and high alcohol content, therefore, it should be considered a different product.
