Saint Andre is a triple creme cow’s milk French cheese in a powdery white, bloomy skin of mould (thank you, Wikipedia).

Put a beast in your belly. That’s what this antique-sleek bottle of black spiced rum claims it can do, anyway. And from the looks of the giant, ship-eating squid that’s sprawled across its label we’re inclined to believe it. Brought to you by the folks over at Proximo Spirits, Kraken Black Spiced Rum — an inky-black, clove-laced, 94-proof liquor that’s distilled in Trinidad & Tobago — will revolutionize your rum and coke.
