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

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.

Oh God, I've had this. It tastes like a cedar chest smells. I can't believe I didn't go blind.

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:
