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

Becherovka, it’s an herbal alcohol, kind of a cousin to Jägermeister.

Best described as “Christmas in a bottle.”

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.

Jumex.

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

There have been a few people mentooning not drinking alcohol, so perhaps the next thread will be about “what is the must unusual non alcoholic ingredient in your home bar?”
