I’m almost a teetotaller, but the WW2 and Cold War buff in me wants to get a bottle of [Kalashnikov Vodka](http://www.kalashnikovvodka.com/) for display. (Be sure to check out the [Nikita Girls](http://www.nikitagirls.co.uk/) while visiting, backed as only the Kremlinaires can back somebody.) Has anybody tried it? I’m curious how it compares to the others (i.e. a good addition or just a cash-in on the General’s already famous name.)

I haven’t tried it. Doesn’t seem to be available outside the UK.

I do want some, though. Ideally, it should be like the Automatic Kalashnikov itself: inexpensive, well-made, and perfectly capable of putting someone on the ground inside of three shots.

In America, you drink shots of Kalashnikov.  
In Soviet Russia, Kalashnikov shoots you!

Please don’t hurt me!
