I know that in the USA, the allowed about of thujone is very little, however, since this bottle was bought abroad, I wonder if the amount is increased? If anyone knows, I am curious about this.
What I've learned so far about the contents of this bottle:
The armoise (Artemisia Vulgaris) infusion gives Absente its structure.
The alcoholate and essences add subtile flavors of anise, mint and spices, giving Absente its balance, elegance, freshness and surprising length of flavor.
Drinking Absente:
You can pour the Absente onto crushed ice or ice cubes.—
If you like strong drinks then you can drink it neat.—
If you prefer it slightly bitter and less sweet, simply add fresh water to your Absente.—
— Those nostalgic for the past can practice the ritual of bygone days by placing a sugar cube onto an absinthe spoon placed on the rim of the glass and slowing pour in the water until it melts the sugar and turns the Absente an opalescent green.
Absente can also be flambéed and added to cocktails.
Organoleptic profile:
The color: a beautiful light green with clear shiny glints of yellow.
The nose: a subtile aroma of absinthe blended with anise, mint and spices.
The mouth: round aniseed attack moving onto a well-structured feel thanks to the presence of the amoise, finishing with the fresh, spicy notes (absinthe, lemon balm and mint) which give Absente its length of flavor
Storage: at room temperature, not above 25°C or keep chilled. Store the bottle upright. No use-by date.

More on ingredients:
Absinthe is traditionally prepared from a distillation of neutral alcohol, various herbs, spices and water. Traditional absinthes were redistilled from a white grape spirit, while lesser absinthes were more commonly made from alcohol from grain, beets, or potatoes. The principal botanicals are grande wormwood, green anise, and florence fennel, which are often called "the holy trinity." Many other herbs may be used as well, such as petite wormwood (Artemisia pontica or Roman wormwood), hyssop, melissa, star anise, angelica, peppermint, coriander, and veronica. ---This according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe
Tasting notes will follow once I figure out how to make sugar cubes!! Watch for that post coming soon!
