What you don’t really want to try: the strangest alcohol from around the world (13 photos)

The alcoholic beverages market is saturated with different products. To attract customers, manufacturers come up with various strange new products, sometimes beyond the bounds of reason.

Here are some striking examples that are difficult to find on the market.





The most expensive type of beer



Brewdog is a Scottish craft brewery that sells the most expensive beer. In 2010, she released a line called “The End of History.” The cost of one bottle reached 500-700 pounds sterling, which today is almost 70 thousand rubles.





This price is due to the container for the bottle, made from a stuffed squirrel or ermine. Only 12 of these examples were produced, and their price depended on the size. Later, you could buy more similar beer for yourself by investing 20 thousand dollars in production.

Flavored vodka



Many people have probably come across vodka with added fruit flavors or berries. However, in Alaska they decided to go further and release a “bitter” with a taste of smoked salmon, as well as bacon. They worked on the development of the latter for two whole years.

Wine infused with poisonous snakes



Most often, poisonous cobras are added to bottles of rice wine. Allegedly, the poison dissolving in alcohol, according to Chinese doctors, brings health benefits.



The most interesting thing is that snakes are put into wine while still alive. Therefore, there were cases when the scaly ones did not die in the drink and bit the drinker, leading to a fatal feast.

Family whiskey



James Gilpin decided to create an alcoholic drink using his knowledge of the chemistry of the human body and working with a natural byproduct of diabetics. The latter, especially older people, can no longer regulate the amount of sugar in their blood, so it often comes out in their urine.

This is what Giplin took as the basis for creating single malt whiskey.



"Procreative" wine



And again the Chinese made their mark, releasing wine to restore male potency. The reproductive organs of deer, seal and dog are infused in it. In China, of course, the drink is in demand, but its effectiveness is a big question.

Gin with ants



In Copenhagen you can find gin containing about 62 wood ants in each bottle. True, such exotica will cost buyers $258.

Alcohol poured onto women's breasts



The German company decided to sell whiskey, rum and vodka, which had previously been poured onto the models’ breasts. Each bottle was accompanied by a certificate signed by one or another girl, assuring that the alcohol had been on her body.

Plus a small bonus in the form of a photo of the model. And you will have to pay about 200 dollars for this pleasure.

Beer made with human yeast



Yeast is everywhere, even in every person, outside and inside. But they are also the main ingredient in making beer.

It is noteworthy that Rogue Brewery decided to combine these two facts together to create its own product. At the company, one of the employees joked that it would be funny to take yeast from his beard, which had been grown since 1978.



As a result, yeast was grown on the basis of its 9 hairs for the further production of beer.

To be honest, I wouldn't want to try any of them.
