TOP 10 || Most Expensive Alcoholic Drinks

Humans discovered the great feeling of drinking alcoholic drinks in around 10,000 BC. Over the millennia and centuries and decades, they have improved on the alcoholic beverages, until they themselves developed more refined tastes. They also invented varied techniques of making them, for a variety of tastes, colour, flavour, smell, alcohol content, etc. naturally, it is because of the technique, time, procedure, etc. that makes them expensive. Sometimes, the brand name also adds to the cost of the drink. Let us take a look at 10 Most Expensive Alcoholic Drinks.

1.  Tequila Ley .925

Designed in a similar way as Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne, Tequila .925 is a tequila made out of a unique procedure of production, and it also comes in a bottle that is studded with 6,400 diamonds. It was unveiled before an applauding crowd in Mexico City.

2. Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne

Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne is regal in its very name. This cognac has been aged for 100 years, which is only one of the reasons why this is such a costly liquor, the other reason being its bottle, which is dipped in 24-carat gold and sterling platinum, and is studded with an outrageous 6,500 diamonds. While the age of the cognac is legitimately appreciable, the bottle of the highly-priced liquor is a little too flamboyant to look at.
     Amount: $2,000,000

3. Diva Vodka

Diva Vodka is triple filtered, first through ice, then through Nordic birch charcoal, and finally, through sand and precious gems. What is even more special to patrons is its bottle with Swarovski crystals stacked up in the middle of it, and these crystals can be taken out to garnish the drink, thus confirming that some people are ready to spend a for a touch of shiny gems.
Amount: $1,000,000

4. Dalmore 62

Dalmore 62 is the world’s most expensive whiskey, with only 12 bottles of it to ever be produced. Thankfully, unlike many other rare drinks, a single bottle of this beverage contains enough liquor to pour out a number of drinks, and not just a drink or two.
Amount: $215,000

5. Armand de Brignac Midas

Some of the most expensive alcoholic drinks are noted for their rarity, reason for manufacture, bottles, etc. But the Armand de Brignac Midas is expensive because of the enormous size of the bottle. This champagne comes in a brightly and quirkily painted golden 30 little bottle, designed by 14 year old Flayor Flav. This aspect is what adds to the rarity of this bottle, besides the fact that it has to be carried to by several of the staff members.
Amount: $215,000.

6. Penfolds Ampoule

Penfolds Ampoule is the most expensive red wine in the market, and comes in a glass blown ampoule which holds Penfolds Block 42 Kalimna Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 vintage, enough to fill one whole glass. Only 12 of these have ever been put out in the market, and comes with a wooden case which is designed by Andrew Bartlett, a world-famous furniture craftsman.
Amount: $170,000

7. 1811 Château d’Yquem

Château d’Yquem is a wine producer that has been crafting a multitude of wines since the establishment of its vineyard in 1711 in the Bordeaux region of France. The establishment has survived generations of owners and operators for 300 years. Of its wines which include Château d’Yquem and Ygrec, the batch produced in 1811 is the most prestigious, having received a perfect 100 by wine connoisseur Robert Parker.
Amount:  $130,000

8. Legacy by Angostura

Legacy by Angostura, which is among the most expensive alcoholic drinks, for political reasons: it was crafted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the independence of Tobago and Trinidad. Only 20 rum decanters were ever put up for sale. Composed of a mix of several rums, each of which is aged for at least 17 years, this rum comes in a case crystal decanter designed by Asprey’s, the company in London that designs jewellery for Prince Charles.
Amount: $25,000

9. The Winston Cocktail

If you’ve chosen to drink The Winston, all you get is a cocktail – a single mix, concocted by internationally famous bartender Salvatore Calabrese, which is a mix of 60ml of Cognac Croizet 1858 Cuvee Leonie, part Chartreuse Viellissement Exceptionellement Prolongé, part Grand Marnier Quintessence, and just a hint of Angostura Bitters, to create this elegant but over-prices cocktail.
Amount: $14,000

10. Vieille Bon Secours Ale

While it is liquor that is expected to dominate the list of the most expensive alcoholic drinks, but that does not mean there is no place for beer in the list. Vieille Bon Secours Ale is an artisanal beer by la Brasserie Caulier, a brewery in Péruwelz, Belgium. Since 1995, they have produced several yields, but the one aged 10 years, with 8% alcohol and the flavour of toffee and anise is the most expensive.
Amount: $1,200

He played about a bit with his new-found fire-powder, as any self-respecting kitchen-alchemist would, and found that when compressed into a bamboo tube it exploded.
