The American rockstar Marilyn Manson used to purchase his Absinthe from Markus Lion since long time. One day after a gig in Basel they met and were talking about art and music and of cause Absinthe. Markus suggestion developing a Marilyn Manson Absinthe was accepted by the artist, so Oliver Matter started sending prototypes to the U.S. It took about 2 years till the development was finished. Nowadays Absinthe Mansinthe is distributed from the U.S. to Australia and is appreciated being a high quality product.

Consequently the collaboration between Markus and Oliver sets international standards in the Absinthe world that other producers just follow but not bypass as both are perfectionists with a strong vision and uncompromising commitment to what they are doing.
