What are some good drinks to have someone bring back from Europe?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Someone I know is coming back from the UK and so they can bring me some drinks if I ask, any recommendations on what to ask for?

I'm interested in anything at all pretty much, just something to enjoy that tastes good. I'm thinking a nice vodka/rum, but one that isn't available here obviously.

ABSYNTHE

The only thing that I know of worth bringing back that you can't find here would be Westvleteren 12.
That being said, even in Europe, that stufg is supposedly hard to come by.

A proper Russian vodka, yeah...I'd have to consult my russian-vodka specialist friend (seriously, he speaks Russian and worked over there...)

Absinthe. Cognac if in France. It's cheaper there.

Oh, from the UK, missed that part.

Maybe some local ales, most things you can get in the UK you can get cheaper in the US.
