Full Version: Marilyn Manson Gets a Tan...
66.6% ABV? I normally use Holy Water to louche my absinthes, wonder what would happen if I added that to the Mansinthe?
It will get burnt™.
I like the Mansinthe. I have some artisanale left, I'll do a side-by-side this weekend.
If I could get
Mansinthe for
the $44 it costs
over the pond,
I'd consider that
a fair price, as
the price for CO
squeezin's goes.
Beats the Xid
outtah LuXid @
$60.

I was thinking that too, thinking about trying a bottle.
Then I added in the shipping, and realized paying more for shipping than the price of the item being shipped is stupid.
Sorry Marilyn.

Porkio, I gather you're aware that holy water is consecrated by boiling the hell out of it.
You do properly ice it before louching, I hope.

I yet have to try it butt l'Artisanale?? Knowing the wormwood profile of the Matter absinthes I'm really curious.
Now that the comparison has been made by Peter, I'd like to see an objective comparison from spoon, and anyone else who still has some of the L'artisanale left, I would do it, but I don't think I count.
Those of you that have tasted the two, can we get an off the cuff comment?

It's a good thing you stopped by.

Yes they are, but it's not that "wiener" tits.

Now that the comparison has been made by Peter
I'm suspecting the thing it has in common with L'Artisinale is prominent wormwood, and little else.
I have a tiny bit of L'Artisinale left though if somebody has Mansinthe and wants to swap. I could probably part with 50ml.
From the review at heureverte, Mansinthe is not about wormwood dominance but sweetness.
Moreover, what is the point in comparing demi-fine to superieure?

I'm only giving away 60ml of it. A fair swap? No. But I'll get to try something new and see if descriptions are accurate. Besides, I'm not going to buy a whole bottle..

Marilyn Manson serves up one creepy cocktail
Goth rocker's devilish drink;
COMMENTARY

Any fan of goth-rocker Marilyn Manson knows he has a bit of an obession with all things macabre, so no one should be surprised he's come out with his own brand of absinthe liquor, an adult beverage that has been long vilified as something that when taken in excess can kill you.
According to Rolling Stone's Web site, Manson recently introduced his own brand of the controversial cocktail, called Mansinthe, after working with a Swiss distillery to develop a blend "distilled from fine herbs, naturally colored and not sugared."
One of those ingredients is wormwood, which contains a toxic chemical that in large quantities can cause kidney failure, seizures and even death. Once the favorite drink of artists and bohemians in late 19th century EuroFuckyLand for its alleged pyschoactive attributes, absinthe was banned in the early 1900s in many countries due to its controversial ingredient. But since the prohibitions were lifted in the European Union, the bitter liquor has recently seen a resurgence among the trendy on the Continent.
Bad news for Manson's U.S. fans: Absinthe remains banned in the United States, despite a recent study that found the drink no more dangerous to your health that any other liquor.
But that research didn't stop Manson from playing up its morbid reputation. His design for the Mansinthe label has a drawing of a deathly ill-looking man poised to sip from a glass.
And if the wormwood doesn't kill you, this just may — a $40 bottle is a hellish 66.6 percent alcohol.
Perhaps Manson is hoping for an endorsement as the official "drink of the devil."

Even worse news for people with taste,
Mansinthe isn't banned.
But, hopefully if defintion is voted for and experiment will be successful, it would not be named "absinthe" after all. Future looks bright.
Yeah,
So bright I gotta wear shades.

Lie said for the thousand time becomes the truth-luckily, the article was about ManXit, not absinthe in general, so who is gonna get bad rap, then?
In case alcohol could, they have invented non-alcoholic beers-witty fucktards.

So has the Mansinthe actually developed a tan yet or is it still nice and green? I'm still waiting on my bottle of this to arrive. I hope it is good.

Thanks to philanthropist Lou Leever for the Mansinthe sample. It's decent, is very similar to Duplais Balance, but not great either. The regular price point isn't bad, but the shipping cost raises it to the point of not being worth it. Then again, no Absinthe+shipping costs is worth it. If it ever lands on US shelves at its EU price it might be worth picking up if you're not in the mood for anything fancy.
PaPaPeeVee is correct that, like L'Artisinale, it has wormwood up front. Aside from that, though, it's nothing like L'Artisinale.

That's what I was thinking, it has more of the Matter profile (Duplais inter alia).
Surprise Surprise.

I disagree:
That ain't no "regular" absinthe.
Asspipe.
It was, once upon a time.
Yeah, commercial.
Even.
