Of course, reading that review, would you doubt it:
QUOTE
The spirit is obviously grain, not grape-based, which makes this absinthe taste harsher and makes it more of a cheap knock-off rather than a recreation of what Van Gogh drank
That reviewer beside the fact of knowing how to spell Vincent's surname correctly, knows exactly what poor Vincent drank. And perfectly can distinguish between the bad grain alcohol and divine grape alcohol.
QUOTE
The mint was also far too strong, mint has a strong natural flavor that is too overpowering which is why those 19th century distilleries that used it used only very limited quantities - Pernod Fils had something like one bushel of mint per 10 kg of herbs, I believe.
Even Henri-Louis Pernod was not aware, there is mint in his own extrait. Yuppie! We know the truth.

Oh, by the way, Absinthist: I only said (with a sarcastic undertone that you may chose to ignore, but I digress) you were obviously infallible when you were channelling Padre Pio. I certainly don't think you're always channelling him; otherwise, it's time to tell the wise man that too much Tanacetum doesn't belong in absinthe.

That I know. Now, are you channelling me or Padre Pio? If you find 4g-5g/l to be too much, your definition of "too much" needs channelling.
(GB) bu = 36, 368 dm3; US bu = 35, 238 dm3, so 36,4 l from what I have checked.

Any tansy is too much, it shouldn't be used in absinthe. However, even if it should be used, 5/gL is way too much.

of mint has gotta be
hefty.
A bushel of damn near
any organic mass is.
