ABSINTHE HR GIGER WOLFSMILCH. upon request of HR GIGER

It was a great honor for us especially because there was already an HR Giger Absinthe on the market. However, according to his own statements, he didn’t like it that much. HR Giger became hugely popular after designing the creature Alien in Ridley Scott’s sci-fiction horror classic. He won an Oscar in 1980. But long before that he invented absurd and fantastic works of art, sculptures. His works often revolve around the ghostly and sometimes futuristic depiction of human bodies and machines. This in a cold, interconnected relationship that has been described as «biomechanical.»

here they are. ABSINTHE HR GIGER WOLFSMICH & ZEITGEIST

These ABSINTHE HR GIGER were developed and produced in collaboration with Distillerie La Lalote Martin, 2013 the first time. And so, 10 years later WOLFSMILCH & ZEITGEIST are still distilled in Boveresse by the former moonshine family, Francis and Thérèse Martin. The naming and illustration came from HR Giger himself. Inspired by a book called “HR Giger and the Zeitgeist of the 20th Century”. Written by Stanislav Grof. The book is the first of its kind to analyze HR GIGER visionary world from a psychological perspective.
