Aaron sent me these pics the other day. It's a Liqueuer called "Schönbrunner Gold", a French style cognac. The “Original Schonbrunner Gold” is made according to a recipe going back to the time of Emperor Francis Joseph and contain finest distillation of oranges and French cognac, refined with 23-carat gold leaf. Now you'd think that something like this would be expensive, but to my surprise, you can pick up a bottle of this stuff for about 20 euros! You've got to wonder just how much you'd get if you fished the gold out of one of these.... I would have thought it'd be more that 20 euros, but apparently not!
