Spirytus Rektyfikowany: The Polish Powerhouse

This Polish beast tops our list at a jaw-dropping 96% ABV. Spirytus delivers a neutral flavor with an unmistakable burn that reminds you it’s basically pure alcohol. Most people use it as a base for homemade liqueurs or tinctures rather than drinking it straight. You can find it in 500ml or 750ml bottles for about $15-25. Watch out though. This stuff is so potent that several U.S. states like California and New York have banned it completely.
