Updated on September 09, 2022 15:20 PM by Andrew Koschiev

Some like it straight, while some like it mixed; the world of alcoholic drinks is fascinating and filled with experiments. Some of these drinks created by mixologists are rare and unique and come with a hefty price tag.

In this article, we have compiled a list of the extremely expensive alcohol in the world. The prices cited in the article may fluctuate from region to region.

Isabella Islay Whisky

The world's most expensive bottle of whisky from the Luxury Beverage Company in the U.K. They are liable for Isabella Islay Whisky, a single malt Scotch whisky aged over 30 years. It is not the whisky that makes this drink so costly.

Isabella Islay Whisky comes in a glamorous bottle with a white gold label. It contains 8,5000 diamonds and 300 rubies. If that is not enough, this luxurious whisky comes in a solid oak box with 18-carat gold designs and a silver plaque. The bottle is trading for a tidy $6.2 million.

The Billionaire Vodka

It was obvious that a brand might take the number one spot with "billionaire" in the name, right?

Well, Billionaire Vodka ($3.7 Million) did exactly that. With a brand motto of "It is good to become the king," Billionaire Vodka produces alcoholic drinks entirely by hand and on demand. Each bottle uses a top-secret Russian flavour and is made in small micro-batches to ensure exclusivity.

The big five-litre bottle is covered in approximately 3,000 diamonds and Swarovski crystals, designed by Leon Verre. Billionaire Vodka is the top most expensive alcoholic drink in the world!

Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne

Is this Cognac that costs a massive $2 Million? The Cognac has been aged over 100 years, and the bottle is covered with 24-karat gold, housed platinum casing, and diamonds.

It looks like something different that would be given to a medieval King after the battle, as a token of surrender or just the spoils of war.

D’Amalfi Limoncello Supreme

Limoncello is an after-dinner favourite drink enjoyed by Italians. It is a digestive meant to help settle your tummy after a big meal. D'Amalfi is famous for their limoncello, so much so that they decided to commission a special bottle for an unnamed Italian lady.

While the liquor inside the bottle is the same limoncello most people get to experience, the bottle itself makes this the most costly alcohol ever produced. The exclusively designed bottle sports three single-cut flawless diamonds on the neck totalling 13 carats.

There is also a super rare 18.5-carat diamond on the front of the bottle. They created two bottles of this liqueur, one for the lady and another for some lucky person to buy. That could be you if you have a spare $43.6 million.

Diva Vodka

If you are looking for something different and don't care about the taste or the money, then Diva Vodka ($1 Million) is for you.

This is one type of Vodka in the world to be filtered through gemstones after being filtered the traditional way. After that, it's poured into a bottle with a load of Swarovski crystals in a glass tube running down the centre of the bottle.

Tequila Ley .925

They claim more than 6,000 different diamonds on the bottle help improve the tequila's flavour, which is why it's so expensive to buy.

However, it remains unsold, so it might sell for a lot less in the future; we'll have to wait and see. However, it remains the second most expensive alcoholic drink in the world!

Macallan 64 Year Old In Lalique

Macallan Record Break, so it's no surprise that it has a price tag.

Macallan is most famous for producing high-quality single-malt whiskey, so when they decided to embark on this challenge, it is not surprising that they went all in.

Only four bottles were ever designed and combined with the bottle's craftsmanship, the whiskey itself makes this drink so darn expensive.

Each liquor bottle is made from pure, hand-cut crystal and weighs 25 pounds without liquor.

Russo-Baltique Vodka

Russo-Baltique Vodka is the next costly alcoholic drink on the list. Costing a whopping $1.35 million for a bottle, you'll need to love your Vodka to buy a bottle of this stuff.

The bottles look like vintage automobiles, and each bottle top is made from 100% pure gold with inlaid diamonds.

Don't worry, though, unless you are a Russian billionaire or oligarch, you won't be targeted with any crazy marketing campaigns or followed around the internet with ads. It's aimed solely at the target as mentioned above market, as they're about the only ones that can afford it!

The Macallan Fine & Rare

The Macallan single malt Scotch Whisky is one of the most famous whiskies on the planet. Distilled at the brand's manufacturing plant in Scotland in 1824, The Macallan is most loved by whiskey connoisseurs.

The Fine & Rare series is a range of whisky distilled aimed between 1926 and 1991 at collectors. One bottle's price tag at $2 million.

The 1926 60-year-old vintage is the oldest bottle of whisky to sell at auction. It's often called the 'Holy Grail' of whisky, with only 40 bottles ever produced. The Macallan is why it went for so much at auction. So while it might not come in a fancy bottle, it tastes like nothing else on this list.

Armand De Brignac Midas

Made super famous and popular with rappers and sports stars, Armand de Brignac Midas champagne is the world's most expensive ever!

It has been aged more than 30 years and uses some of the finest grapes to achieve its distinctive flavour.

However, it's more than likely its gold-painted bottle that helped boost its popularity, as it was designed to be one of the most expensive drinks in the world.

Gout De Diamants

This handmade luxury champagne was curated in the village of Oger in France. This is a high-end alcoholic beverage that comes in a great-looking bottle.

Luxury designer Alexander Amosu is responsible for the sleek bottle with the original crystal logo, one made from 18-carat white gold with a 19-carat white diamond placed in the centre.

Amosu said, Speaking about the bottle, "The bottle already has an original look with its natural design, all I had to do is bring it to the next level of ultimate luxury." Despite its price, the Goût de Diamants is a simple-looking bottle that houses delicious champagne.

Penfold Ampoule

The Penfolds Ampoule ($170,000) is one of the most expensive striking bottles, and it's hand blown and makes one hell of an impact, which certainly helps calculate its insane price tag!

In this, there are only twelve handmade bottles of this expensive wine on the planet, and all are individually numbered, and South Australia's finest artisans crafted all.

You will get a certificate of ownership and Authenticity signed by the Chief Winemaker of the project when you hand over $170,000!

Diamond Jubilee By Johnnie Walker

Diamond Jubilee Whisky by Johnnie Walker is one of the most expensive alcoholic drinks. And Johnnie Walker also makes some of the most expensive drinks in the world.

And also Diamond Jubilee series was created to celebrate the Queen's 60th crowning anniversary in Britain and is considered the best whiskey ever created by Johnnie Walker.

Mendis Coconut Brandy VS

Coconut is always well with drinks, but Mendis created a brandy made from coconuts entirely, so it is no surprise that it might fetch such a high price!

Each bottle is individually numbered and signatory by the House of Mendis founder, W.M. Mendis. However, despite its uniqueness and limited numbers, $1 Million for a bottle of alcohol is still absolutely absurd!

Chateau D'Yquem

In 2011, this vintage Cognac became the world's most expensive bottle of white wine, breaking the then-current Guinness World Record.

It's now considered more of a historical artefact than a normal bottle of wine, as it's undrinkable.

But, as far as expensive alcoholic drinks go, this one has enough history to warrant its $130,000 price tag!

The Black Pearl Louis XIII Anniversary Edition

Remy Martin's Black Pearl Louis XIII is their most expensive liquor, as some of the ingredients are over 100 years old!

The bottles are astonishingly small numbers to maintain exclusivity and are all inlaid with gemstones. They were constructed using a special technique and process, which is thought to be locked away in a secret vault somewhere.

The Diamond Is Forever Martini

If diamonds are your thing, then you'll enjoy this one. This martini might look ordinary; however, the grey goose and lime-infused cocktail include a one-carat diamond as an extra touch! But now, you can only get it at the Ritz-Carlton in Tokyo.

1945 Romanee-Conti Wine

Romanee-Conti has become the king of all wines, and 1945 is considered its most highly prized vintage.

They initially produced only 600 bottles in 1945, which is also significant because this was the last year before they replaced their vines.

The wine was on sale at Sotheby's, and they described it as "concentrated and exotic, with seemingly everlasting power, a wine at peace with itself."

And Couple that with the "provenance" of owning this bottle, and it is easy to see why it sold for $558,000.

Legacy By Angostura

The costly rum on our list goes to Legacy by Angostura. It is made from a blend of seven special rums from the other brand's collections.

Angostura set to create the "ultimate expression of Angostura Rum." The brand decided to make a rum that was considered the best sipping ever! $25,000, and it's yours!

The Winston Cocktail

Regularly topping the charts also the most expensive alcoholic drink in the world, the Winston Cocktail is only available from one Australian bartender.

The drink features many of the most costly liquours in the world, like Grand Marnier Quintessence.

The main reason for the price is that the Cognac it uses is extremely limited, so they have to pick and choose the right clientele to enjoy the drink and charge accordingly. The cocktail is well known for looking like blown glass when it's ready to drink!

Dalmore 62

This one is a bit of a mystery, as no one knows where it gets its name from or the process that made the single-malt so expensive.

There were only 12 bottles designed, so limited numbers played a big part in its price. Interestingly, they purchased the last known bottle to be spotted in public in Singapore's airport.

How it got there, nobody knows, but the anonymous buyer certainly landed on his feet, that's for sure.
