Got this from MansonUSA:
The official Marilyn Manson Absinthe, aptly dubbed “Mansinthe” is now officially available for purchase online. Produced in Switzerland, Mansinthe is an authentic Absinthe, distilled from fine herbs, naturally colored and not sugared. There is just ONE Mansinthe -there is NO “sans wormwood” version!
Then from Absinthe’s site:
Absinthe was invented at the end of the 18th century, in Val-de-Travers in the Swiss province of Jura. It is traditionally made of vermouth, aniseed, fennel and a range of other herbs. In the mid 19th century, absinthe was the drink of Bohemia. Artists such as Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Charles Baudelaire, Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Vincent van Gogh regarded “the green fairy” as a source of inspiration. The same is true for Marilyn Manson, who has been known as an absinthe lover for many years. In July 2007, together with Markus Lion from ABSINTHE.DE and multiple award-winning Swiss speciality distillery Matter-Luginbühl AG, he launched his own absinthe, which is called “Mansinthe”.
More from MansonUSA:
Marilyn Manson was directly involved in developing this product and made changes to multiple prototypes that were sent for his review. It took a considerable amount of time to get Mansinthe to the level Manson desired. We’re convinced that this Absinthe is not just ideal for newbies, but will also be appreciated by experienced Absinthe lovers.
I’ve checked Absinthe’s site which is where you can purchase Mansinthe online and found out that the liquor (?) has 66,6% vol. Alkohol!! For sure, don’t drink this purely!
