Sure, BevMo! has fancy 18-year-old single malt Scotch whiskies and rum aged in bourbon barrels, but it also sells liquors in very unique vessels. There’s a tequila sold in a life-sized baseball bat shaped bottle and vodka that comes in a macabre crystal skull. Pop culture fans should make sure to pick up a copy of the limited-edition Blade RunnerJohnnie Walker Black Label The Director’s Cut, which is based on a prop used in the 1982 movie, or the Game of Thrones series of Lagavulin Scotch whiskies. Some booze is for collecting; all of it is for drinking.
