Marilyn Manson creará su marca de absenta... Mansinthe

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.
