I once had one that advertised itself as “the Champagne of Beers.” It was not :dubious:

Here you go: [dung-smoked whale testicle beer](http://www.stedji.com/hvalur-1-2.html).

Rogue has lots. A banana one (Wells & Young does one too). [Rogue Beard beer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_Beard_Beer) - made from the yeast in the brewmaster’s beard (I’m sure a minimal amount).

Garlic vodka is interesting.

Evil Twin doesn’t do that weird but their names are spectacular. I can’t tell if their Imperial Doughnut Break has actual doughnuts, though I assume not.

Molasses. Or sugar beets, though I don’t know if any rums use it.
