Mansinthe was created at the Matter Distillery near Bern and was developed with the help of master distiller Olivier Matter and Marilyn Manson. Manson has been an enthusiastic fan of absinthe for several years and has been heavily involved in the development of this well-crafted drink. From tasting samples to providing reviews and lending his art to the label, he continues the tradition of a controversial artist inspired by the green fairy.
The recipe for Mansinthe is based on the long-standing experience of Olivier Matter and the Lion Spirits team from the Duplais series (since 2005). Only the highest quality herbs are used, which are macerated in fine alcohol and then distilled in the traditional way. The product has a natural green color without added sugar or artificial colors.
The result is an unusual absinthe of captivating complexity. In the glass, it is vibrant and naturally green with light blue reflections, and the slowly forming louche is opaque and opalescent. Musk and earthy aromas of alpine herbs and flowers introduce a rounded, delicious, and buttery flavor with a refreshing and lingering finish.
Mansinthe offers distinct herbal notes – a hint of mint, anise, sweet grass, and a bitter absinthe profile with a pleasantly refreshing undertone. When cold water is added, finer aromas of lollipops and a more pronounced anise character emerge.
Bottles have a high alcohol content of up to 66.6 %.
