I find unusual spirits interesting, and I want to hear about the ones you have.

A bottle of Sam Adams Utopia

It's like a punch in the face. We bought 2 bottles, passed one around on my wedding night and most people hated it, it's so strong, we didn't even finish it. I ended up giving that one to a buddy, and I still have the other bottle, but I haven't found a reason to crack it open yet.

Spirits of my dead balkan grandmothers and some decent greenery. Alcohol is for losers.

It's not particularly rare but the we have a spiced rum called Kilo Kai. It's mostly sold near Chicago.

We've had a consistent supply from visiting family members over the last few years.

The spirit of Christmas future.

I have a 5000 yo former prince of some whacky kingdom I can’t pronounce. His head is partly caved-in but he’s generally cheerful despite his gruesome cause of death. He lives (haunts?) in the sink but comes out to scare the dog and MIL. Classic white robe type deal but older than the usual ghosts I encounter.

You should bottle him, that would be a unique part of your home bar

A jar of what I've been told is legitimate moonshine from Popcorn Sutton

Just finished off a bottle of chartreuse.

Now it would be sacrificio, a type of mezcal.

Most unique I've had might be Zirbenz stone pine liqueur.

You should post this in !cocktails@lemmy.world too.

There are a couple of things I have to order online, that aren't in the shop here but I like - Heirloom Pineapple Amaro is one. I do make liqueurs so those I guess are the rarest. Like someone else in this thread, I tried infusing cocoa nibs, but in whiskey and it was similarly awful.

Jumex.

The straight up instant refreshment of chugging a jumex after I get off work is far more pleasing than alcohol IMO.

Zwack Unicum from Hungary and 58% Kaoling sorghum liquor from Taiwan. The Kaoling can melt the bottom of plastic cups.

Had a bottle of fermented mare's milk Kumis gifted from Kazakhstan, but it tasted like rancid cheese. Didn't want to risk keeping it around once the bottle had been opened.
