FX.co ★ Five alcohol drinks that cost fortune

1st rank - D’Amalfi Limoncello Supreme liqueur

Today only two bottles of D’Amalfi Limoncello Supreme are left in the world. One bottle was sold a couple of years ago to an anonymous buyer from Italy for $44 million. This record has not yet been broken by any other alcoholic drink. What makes D'Amalfi Limoncello Supreme so outrageously expensive? Of course, its exclusivity, refined taste, and the design of the bottle. The neck of the bottle is encrusted with three diamonds, each weighing 13 carats. The front of the bottle is decorated with a rare diamond weighing 18.5 carats.

2nd rank - Isabella's Islay whisky

In 2011, the British manufacturer Luxury Beverage Company released the world's most expensive Scotch. At that time, a bottle of Isabella's Islay aged 30 years cost more than $6 million. The high price of this whiskey is due to its exquisite taste which represents warm woody tones and delicate notes of fresh barley. The exclusive design of the bottle also contributes to its jaw-dropping price tag. The Isabella's Islay bottle is decorated with more than 5,000 diamonds, almost 250 rubies, and white gold.

3d rank – Billionaire vodka

Billionaire is officially recognized as the most expensive vodka in the world, worth $3.7 million per bottle. The drink is made from a mixture of wheat and rye and is produced using a unique technology that includes ice filtration. However, this is not the only reason for its high price tag. The thing is that the drink is sold in an exclusive bottle, which is encrusted with more than 3,000 rare diamonds.

4th rank - Tequila Ley .925 Pasion Azteca

Tequila Ley .925 Pasión Azteca, valued at $3.5 million per bottle, ranks fourth. This drink is famous for its sophisticated and deep taste comprising notes of vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit accompanied by a slight hint of toasted oak. However, the unique taste is not the only thing that makes Ley .925 Pasion Azteca tequila special. It is sold in an exclusive decanter made of almost 1 kg of platinum and decorated with more than 4,000 white diamonds.

5th rank - Macallan Valerio Adami whiskey

Macallan Valerio Adami Scotch whiskey originating in 1926 rounds out the top 5 most expensive alcoholic beverages in the world. At present, it is valued at approximately $2.7 million per bottle. It has a deep and rich taste that combines notes of dark fruit and intense hints of sweet old oak. Rarity of the drink accounts for its high cost. Only 40 bottles of Macallan Valerio Adami have been produced. Most of them were drunk or lost over time, making the remaining examples extremely valuable.
