Since there has been an Absinthe revival in many countries over the past few years, many people are seeking Absinthe info.
Absinthe is a strong herbal liquor which is nicknamed “La Fee Verte” or “The Green Fairy” because of its characteristic green color. It is not fermented like the alcoholic beverages, beer and cider.
Absinthe got it’s name and it’s distinctive bitter taste from the wormwood, artemisia absinthium. Due to the ban on the use of thujone in some countries “fake” Absinthes were produced which do not contain wormwood.
Fennel, green aniseed, star anise, hyssop, lemon balm, juniper, angelica, licorice, dittany, coriander, nutmeg and sweet flag are the other herbs and essential oils used in the preparation of Absinthe. When water is mixed with Absinthe it louches. The oils are soluble in alcohol but insoluble in water which causes the drink to go cloudy.
Absinthe Info about the Ban
The prohibition movement claimed that Absinthe was harmful and that drinking Absinthe led to “Absinthism” which was characterized by convulsions, fits, madness, brain damage and ultimately death. According to the thought of people thujone cause harmful effects. The thujone content in Absinthe was thought to be very high making it extremely toxic and dangerous. In the beginning of 1900s lots of nations banned Absinthe.
There is no truth in the statements and claims given about Absinthe. A person can be in risk with high amount of thujone. There is a great difference between the thought of 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries and recent studies about the thujone content in Absinthe. One has to drink sufficient amount of Absinthe for thujone to be of any danger!
Absinthe has now been legalized in most countries and there are many types and styles available:-
- Clear Absinthe – This is known as La Bleue or Blanche Absinthe and is commonly distilled in Switzerland.
- La Verte – This is traditional green Absinthe, the Green Fairy.
The normal French or Swiss Absinthe is less sweeter than the Spanish Absinthe.
- Bohemian or Czech style Absinthe is a wormwood bitter than an Absinthe which lacks other herbs such as aniseed or fennel.
All of the above Absinthes contain wormwood but some Absinthes which were developed during the ban are not real as they do not contain thujone or wormwood.
