No, that's pretty close to the taste. However, the Absinthe sold in the states (last I checked) doesn't have thujone, the supposed hallucinogenic drug, and possibly wormwood oil itself. I've only had it in Europe though, so not 100% on that.
Even the absinthe in Europe doesn't have the hallucinogenic ingredients anymore. The absinthe we can get today is a far cry from the devil water they drank 100 years ago. And that's probably a good thing.
