MARILYN MANSON Produces His Own Brand Of Absinthe

September 14, 2007

According to The Washington Times, the French family-run distillery Matter-Luginbuehl is collaborating with Marilyn Manson to produce thousands of bottles of his own brand of absinthe — "Mansinthe" — and is finding a worldwide audience.

"Production started in the beginning of August and we have made 6,000 bottles in one month," distillery head Oliver Matter said yesterday.

Manson, whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner, created the artwork for the label, adorned with Gothic script and featuring a green-hued cadaverous-looking man poised to sip from his goblet.

Matter said the result is a "classic absinthe with a fresh taste," made with various herbs and the all-important wormwood, but without any sugar or colorings.

The 38-year-old star has not yet visited the distillery in person, but was sent samples of different absinthes by export partner Markus Lion, who has been Mr. Manson's supplier for many years, before deciding to which brand he will lend his name.
