Marilyn Manson releases “Mansinthe.” I’m not making this up.
He just gets sillier and more out of touch with every passing day. So Manson has release a vanity absinthe, and Epicurious reviewed it. Unfavorably, I might add.
So did Mansinthe have what it takes to be a premium absinthe? According to the tasters, the answer is, sadly, no. The No. 1 problem was the aroma, which some verbally compared to sewage water or swamp mud, but with the exception of a lone taster, the panel felt it wasn’t really worth wading through the odor to get to mediocre flavor anyway.
They rated each aspect of it in detail. None of it is really good. Kind of to be expected at this point. And oh my ever-loving Jesus, that name is horrid.
Nice label, though.

I know you used to work for Manson, Jim, but I can’t believe you actually like his artwork - I seriously can’t stand the heavy Old English type face and his dinky new logo text under it. His watercolors aren’t anything special at all.
