Absinthe is traditionally flavored with anise, which gives it a licorice taste. Without the anise, absinthe is kind of a nasty, bitter flavor. These days you can buy absinthe flavored by all sorts of things including other herbs/flowers and cinnamon.
What we buy here as absinthe is just licorice flavored alcohol, it lacks the wormwood that real absinthe should have. What real absinthe you can buy today (in other countries) contains "some" wormwood, but by all accounts much less than the stuff people were tripping on a hundred years ago.
I don't know what you can buy here, or why you would unless you really like flavored drinks with high alcohol content. If that's your speed, try Booker's Bourbon. :)
