A couple of days ago we found a dusty old box in our warehouse. It said “San Miguel” on the outside and we immediately knew what it is: San Miguel was the spanish glassworks who produced these niche Brouille Top glasses for so long. Unfortunately the company has been closed down since a while, so no more historic glasses from them. So this is your chance, obtaining one of these magnificant, rare and also very practical glasses with its top. Last chance!

A few of the very rare PreRelease bottles of Mansinthe were recently found in our basement. These bottles were originally offered by a German Art gallery, showing a series of Mansons paintings in Summer 2007. It’s an edition of only 80 individually numbered bottles 0.5 litre -68%

Mansinthe was awarded a gold medal out of a group of 10 absinthes entered into the largest and most important spirits competition in the USA.  The results of the professional tasting event “shocked” the amateur panel from an earlier attempt at judging the Mansinthe. The stark difference between the trained palette of a professional spirits taster and that of unqualified bloggers, demonstrates why consumers should be wary of accepting the tasting opinion of unskilled amateurs. 

The San Francisco World Spirits Competition is the first comprehensive, international spirits judging ever held in the United States on an annual basis. Founded in 2000 by directors of the San Francisco International Wine Competition, Anthony Dias Blue of Patterson’s the Tasting Panel Magazine, and Carol Seibert. Along with Director of Judging, F. Paul Pacult, writer/journalist of The Spirit Journal, they have established an unparalleled reputation for the competition and its principles, since its inception eight years ago. This year 847 spirits were submitted and evaluated, and six out of the seven continents (only Antarctica was missing) were represented, making this a globally influential spirits competition. This year will be the first for judging absinthes from around the globe. All eyes will be on this, the most prestigious professional tasting event held in North America.

Mansinthe was recently sampled in a ‘taste-test’ conducted by a New York City food-blogger.  While presumed to be a food and spirits professional via his web-association with two international food and lifestyle magazines, the methodology of the tasting exposed that the writer lacked basic skills in conducting even a semi-competent spirits tasting panel.  The ‘tasting’ was conducted in plastic cups by a randomly selected group of deputized individuals, most having had no prior absinthe tasting experience, let alone general spirits industry experience.  Obviously confused by the smell and taste of real wormwood, and having no prior reference for comparison, the amateur tasters gave low scores and unprofessional comments, seemingly based on shock-value alone. It appeared as if the tasters spent much effort trying to outdo each other with how outrageous a tasting comment they could each create.  In spite of their inexperienced pallets, the panel did manage to score the Mansinthe higher than the most well known USA-legal absinthe presently on the market. Once the review was publicly posted on the blog, the amateur tasting panel was then magically transformed into ‘world spirit experts’ via the inability of many in the international press to actual review the qualifications and protocol used by the amateur tasters. Clearly, the celebrity attachment of rock superstar, Marilyn Manson, was a main driver and too juicy a target for papers that were more interested in running tabloid style stories, than researching facts. Not surprisingly, the other, lower scoring absinthe was never mentioned in the multitude of articles, obviously due to the lack of celebrity involvement.

The official Marilyn Manson Absinthe, aptly dubbed “Mansinthe” is now officially available at www.absinthe.de 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.

Mansinthe is now on presale. You may order now and receive your order as one of the first ones. Shipping date: around August 20

Production has been in full flow for a good week – here are a few impressions:
