It is difficult to imagine, but sometimes the cost of alcohol exceeds all reasonable limits. Alcoholic drinks have many connoisseurs and admirers around the world, there are even those who are ready to lay out a fortune to buy a bottle of their favorite alcohol. Yes, it’s the condition, because the price of some copies can exceed the cost of the most luxurious home several times. Not everyone, even having the opportunity to purchase such an expensive alcohol, does it, because not everyone is ready to give a significant part of the capital acquired by their labor to something that will be drunk sooner or later.
10. Beer Vielle Bon Secours | $ 800
The price of the most expensive beer is $ 800, which is not very cheap. This foamy drink is called “Vielle Bon Secours”. It is difficult to get this beer, not only because of the high cost, but also because you can not get it everywhere, but only in one of the London bars. Tutankhamum, whose price is $ 52, of course, it is cheaper than beer for $ 800, but it has no equal in strength.
9. Sherry Masandra | $ 43.5 thousand
If you prefer Sherry from the whole variety of alcoholic drinks, then you probably wondered how high its cost can be. To date, the title of the most expensive Sherry in the world belongs to the drink from the Masandra collection. Its price is 43.5 thousand dollars. It was for this amount that a bottle of Jerez de la Frontera was sold at an auction in London. The production of this collection of Sherry has been going on since 1775. Despite the fact that this alcohol is considered one of the best in the world, there is nothing special in it, except, perhaps, its age.
8. Rum Wray & Nephew | $ 53 thousand
This rum is produced in Jamaica. The price for a bottle of this favorite pirate alcoholic beverage is 53 thousand dollars, due to the fact that it was released back in 1940, and the ingredients for making it even earlier were until 1915. The composition, the unique production technology and the fact that only four unopened bottles remained in the world, made Wray & Nephew rum the most expensive in the world. Today, this alcohol is no longer produced. His recipe has been lost. This was facilitated by the growing popularity of the Mai Tai alcoholic cocktail and a decrease in interest in rum, in connection with which the company producing this drink was forced to reprofile.
7. Wine Chateau Lafite | $ 90 thousand
What can you buy for 90 thousand dollars? If you are surprised to assume that this is wine, then you are absolutely right. This expensive wine has been aged since 1787, and was first purchased by Thomas Jefferson, the American president. Such an acquisition clearly meant that he was a serious collector of wine products. The second copy was bought by one of the restaurants, for display, after more than two hundred years. By an absurd accident, the waiter working in the restaurant broke a bottle. Fortunately, she was insured for a decent amount. At the beginning of the 21st century, a bottle of this wine was bought by an American for 90 thousand dollars.
6. Tequila Ley 925 | $ 225 thousand
Tequila Ley 925, was bought by a private collector in 2006 for 225 thousand dollars. The manufacturing plant (Hacienda Distillery - LaCapilla) decorated a bottle of this agave drink with platinum and gold, hence the enormous cost. Some time ago, the manufacturer made a new bottle, the price of which is several times higher than the previous one and amounts to 1.5 million dollars. This time gold was replaced with silver, platinum remained unchanged. They supplemented the precious bottle with inlaid diamonds. The lucky one who wishes to buy this bottle has not yet been found. The person who finds a buyer for a precious bottle will receive as much as 100 thousand euros as a reward from the company. Well, all that remains is to wish them success.
5. Champagne Piper-Heidsieck | $ 275 thousand
The price of 275 thousand dollars per bottle of “sparkling”, although high, is quite justified. It's all about the origin of this drink. Several decades ago, a Swedish ship transported a shipment of champagne for Tsar Nicholas to Russia, but was wrecked due to a German submarine. Time passed, and in 1998 a group of researchers found the sunken ship. Surprisingly, most of the cargo remained intact. The story that happened to imperial champagne subsequently played a big role in its value.
4. Vodka Diva | $ 1.6 million
A bottle of this Scottish vodka is adorned with precious stones. If we talk about the drink itself, it is worth noting that charcoal is used to filter it, but not simple, but exclusively from Scandinavian birch. What do you think this vodka passes through? Through the diamond sand, diamonds that are not there are real ones. The price of a bottle of this alcohol ranges from $ 3,700 to $ 1,600,000 and depends on the quantity and value of the stones that adorn the bottle.
3. Cognac Henri IV Dudognon Heritage | $ 2 million
This brandy, worth $ 2 million, was cherished for 100 years, a decent aging, and the barrels in which it was stored were prepared for 5 years, dried in the air. Such a drink deserves a chic look. Gold and platinum are rightfully worthy to decorate with them a bottle of a noble drink, and diamonds are a great addition to the overall picture.
2. Whiskey Isabella’s Islay | $ 6.2 million
The bottle for this whiskey was made of high quality English crystal. To decorate it, the manufacturer used white gold, 8500 diamonds and 300 rubies. The British company “Luxury Beverage”, which released a divine drink, claims that the collection of whiskey “Isabella’s Islay” is a successful combination of jewelry and high-quality alcohol. This “work of art" has a high price of $ 6.5 million. For people who are not ready to give such an amount, the bulk of which is the cost of the bottle, the company released a collection of this alcohol with a less elegant appearance, but the price dropped significantly and amounted to 740 thousand dollars per bottle.
1. Liquor D’Amalfi Limoncello Supreme | $ 43.6 million
Liquor “D’Amalfi Limoncello Supreme” is the most expensive alcoholic beverage in the world today. Its value is more than 43.6 million dollars. For the most part, as usual, the case is in the bottle, because it is decorated with fabulous diamonds. Only four diamonds, three of which are 12 carats, and the fourth is 18.5 carats. In such a luxurious bottle there should be an appropriate drink. Sweet lemons from the sunny coast, this is almost all that is needed for the best liquor. The price of this paradise drink is still justified by the fact that it was released only in two copies. One of them still does not belong to anyone.
