Ferrand 10 Generations Cognac

A pretty terrific Cognac. Enough boundaries are being pushed here to make this worth one's while.

Haku Vodka

Reyka Icelandic Vodka

Reyka Icelandic Vodka

Reyka is a lot like Bjork: Icelandic and bizarre. If you don't know anything about how they make this stuff, it's definitely worth a read.
