I find unusual spirits interesting, and I want to hear about the ones you have.
Some Victorian kid that died of tuberculosis in the 1800’s. I really wish I could exercise it. Little shit rattles all the bottles at 3am every full moon and it’s annoying as hell.
Linie Aquavit. It is a Scandinavian liquor meaning “water of life”. It is a white spirit infused with botanicals, like gin. Its principal herbs are caraway or dill.
It’s incredible.
A small bottle of the delightfully named Unicum:
Really not sure where it came from, we just found it one day!
Tasted it while visiting Hungary, beloved by the locals. Not being a connoisseur, it tasted to me like the extracted essence from a ton of black pepper seeds into a single ounce of alcohol. Strongest stuff I’ve ever had. They had also a traditional drink with like 85% alcohol. Quite a culture. Lots of warm people.
It’s exclusive to Hungary. Used as a ‘digestif’ before or after a heavy meal. The formula is a closely held family secret.
They made a movie inspired by the family liquour business: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_(1999_film)
Hummm, this sure seems like a unique spirit:
Icelandic lichen liquor. Tastes like forest.
Is this what you are talking about?

Seems interesting
This is the question. “It tastes like the forest: still, slightly sweet air, golden sunlight filtered through emerald leaves, a crystal brook babbling just out of sight” versus “It tastes like the forest. Dirt, rotting undergrowth, and animal shit”.
still, slightly sweet air, golden sunlight filtered through emerald leaves, a crystal brook babbling just out of sight
Honestly, you should write poetry.
I thought you were speaking of ghosts or demons and the like 😂
