For the Kalashnikovista Who Has Everything Else...

[StPatrick]

It appears Mikhail Kalashnikov has now fully embraced capitalism, and gotten out of the umbrella business. He has licensed his name to a Vodka distiller.

Sorry for the "Danger Room" link, with all the attendant comment retardery, but I thought this was still postworthy. The actual Kalashnikov Vodka website does not feature a) the AK-shaped bottle in a wooden crate, nor Russian models in evil body-hugging commie lycra, waiting to steal George C. Scott's male essence.

In the interest of providing optimal coverage, I've given you the first link; click through to MK's site at your leisure.

Do want!

[iyaoyas98]

Me too.

Let's split an order. I'll take the girls, you can have the vodka...

[BimmerFreak]

Im interested in buying a few of these, so let me know if you find them available here in the U.S.

[Mike.357]

I am pretty sure that brand of Vodka is available for sale in TN.

You might just call around to a liquor store or two and aks them if they carry it and see if they can speak to their sales reps about ordering the gun version.

We sell a tequila brand that comes in a rifle and a pistol.

Did some checking, that brand is assigned to a distributor who operates out of Chattanooga and Nashville. It is not assigned in Knoxville

If we can get someone to order these, I bet we can do some sort of group buy.

I will do a little digging and see what I can find.

[BimmerFreak]

I just spoke with Alexei from Alekseys.com and explained what we are looking for.

He says that he has seen and heard about the special AK bottle, but has not seen them available here in the States yet.

I told him that I would be interested in a dozen or so bottles, and he asked that we give him 2 or 3 weeks to check with his importer and find out when they will be available.

Since our very own Caveman manages West Town Wine and Spirits, I've got him checking into it as I type this. I am SO in for the group buy...and I don't even drink!

[Jasongar8]

I found this while I was looking for the AK vodka. Its called Tommy Guns Vodka. I think I like the AK better.

Not by any chance Horizon Wine & Spirits, is it?

[Guest Caveman]

I am talking to my distributors today, I'll see what I can do to get it in Knoxville.

[Mike.357]

Like I said, the Kalishnikov brand has not been assigned in East Tn. Not going to be able to get it here until that happens.

[Mike.357]

no

[Metalhead]

I wouldnt mind getting a bottle of this either... Index. Just because if it's good enough for a conehead, its good enough for me.

But, I'd be down for a AK bottle as well.

[poak]

no

Rats... I know a few guys over there.

What did you say Mike? I'm deaf in one ear so I couldn't quite hear you.

The Crystal Head is available in TN. you might look at your local store. It is HIGH dollar for vodka. Paying a lot for the bottle and Akroyd's name.

Thats why you and SUNTZU make such a cute couple, you are deaf in one ear, and he can't hear out of the other.

I am suprised we don't carry the AK vodka, could have swore we had a sample bottle of it, but we don't.

I have several bottles of Crystal Head. Pretty good stuff.

About how much does the Crystal Head run a bottle?

[Mike.357]

^^^^^^

got to be 50 bucks or maybe a little more IIRC

[Guest Caveman]

I charge 49.99, but I only order it one case at a time.

[VERO1]

Machine guns and booze! What could be better! I want one!

[Guest Todd@CIS]

Dustin bought me a bottle for Christmas (not the rifle shaped one, the standard bottle like the one in the pic with the 3 chicks).

It's not Stoli (my favorite vodka), but it isn't bad!
