German Bike Builder Bottles Harley-Infused Gin
...Leave it, however, to German builder Uwe Ehinger, who with driven purpose and sober intent, built bottles of gin around unearthed Harley parts, American Picker style, by digging through barns and bunkers and such. There’s a reason why they call him “The Archaeologist,” or that’s what he calls himself, we’re not sure, but after a few shots of liquid motor manna at about $42 per shot, we didn’t care.
We had to look once and taste twice to believe it. Okay, full disclosure — starting at $1,058 for a 750ml bottle, we didn’t actually purchase and pour, swirl and sniff the subtle steel notes of a 1939 Flathead camshaft, but after some unscientific experimentation with spare parts, we got the idea. Harley banks on nostalgia, and what better way to experience years of Milwaukee tradition than drinking up some history.
Ehinger has created three varieties of his premium-priced gin based on bits and pieces of a 1939 Flathead, 1947 Knucklehead and 1962 Panhead, all vintage years for sure. Each bottle comes with the part’s backstory

a) as much as I'm not a Harley fan. That looks like a waste of perfectly good, or at refurbishable, parts.
b) how the heck did he get them into the bottle? Looks a bit bigger than the bottleneck, as it were.
c) as certain as it should be that the parts have been well cleaned. Drinking a solvent after it had machine parts soaking in it. The idea just doesn't appeal. Like, at all.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?
I said I have a big stick.

and after all why not, as long as someone is willing to buy it, why not sell it.
Can't taste worse than dan aykroyd's skull vodka.
I'm not really from around here.
