Things to drink before you die

I hope to tick most of these off, but I'll need to save up my pennies, as they're all ridiculously expensive:
At least one first-growth Bordeaux (preferably Chateau Lafite Rothschild, simply because I like it's name the best)
At least one other prestige wine (a Petrus, or a Cheval-Blanc, or a Domaine de la Romanee-Cont)
All these top champagnes (Krug, Cristal, Dom Perignon)
A bottle of Chateau d'Yquem
Remy Martin's Louis XIII Cognac
Any recommendations/desires - what you got?

Hoping to get a really nice bottle before the year's out. Something like this:

I'd also like to try a few famous cocktails. I never really buy them at bars, but it'd be a shame to never have an Old Fashioned or a Rusty Nail or something like that.

Have you guys had absinthe? I tried some recently, and honestly thought it was very medicinal in flavor.
Saw an interview with Lemmy. He said when he drank it, he ended up pooping in somebody's closet and then running through the hotel lobby naked at 7 am. Sounds awesome if you ask me.

This is similar to my experience.
I had it a few years ago. Imported bottle, so not the wormwood-less US versions they're selling now. Strong, clean flavor of anise. Good stuff.
So...closet pooping? Yes. But worth it.
I've got through a helluva lot of beer, but far too few single malts.

Laphroaig is a pretty hardcore malt. I've only had the ten, but would like to taste something older to see how it mellows from the powerful flavors of its youth.

Ah, I feel so uncultured .
Well you are Scottish, so it can't be a new experience
That's it.
I'm opening a business and posting a "NO ENGLISH" sign.
Of course, I'll probably just end up catering to the Latin crowd because the sign is confusing.

Yeah - I've had the 10 too. One of the reasons why I fancy getting an older one. Was initially after the 15-year-old, but after doing some reading around, I think I fancy its replacement a bit more.
Keen to try more whiskies anyway. Generally only drink at the end of a good meal in a restaurant, but it's nice to be able to just pull one out of the cabinet. Persuaded my dad to dig out a bottle of Glen Moray last night, which went down very well!
