I put 4-5 naga morich cut lengthwise in a 5oz bottle of vodka about a year ago, and it's been sitting in my fridge ever since. The peppers are somewhat bleached out, the vodka has taken an orange hue, and when I open it up for the occasional whiff, it smells like fruity apples or pears...no harsh alcohol smell. I took some shots out of another bottle that had some cayenne peppers in it, and I had a serious burn in the throat for a few minutes and then a solid gut bomb after. If the lowly cayenne made the vodka that hot, I would have to be in a ballsy/foolish mood to try the naga vodka. Might work better as an additive to soups or stews...
