Ten Expensive Alcoholic Drinks From Around The World

Alcohol is a commodity that has been enjoyed by many people around the world for centuries. However, some alcoholic beverages are priced astronomically higher than the usual beers and wines you find at your local liquor store. Here is a list of the top 10 most expensive alcoholic drinks in the world.

Number 10: Legacy by Angostura – $25,000

This rum mixture was crafted to celebrate Trinidad and Tobago’s 50th independence anniversary. Only 20 bottles were produced, and each bottle comes in a case and crystal decanter designed by Angostura of London.

Number 9: 1811 Chateau d’Yquem – $130,000

This wine producer has been in business for over 300 years and finally managed to create one of the incredibly few bottles of wine to receive a 100 out of 100 score by wine critic Robert Parker. There aren’t many 1811 bottles left in existence, so prices are going up.

Number 8: Penfolds Ampoule – $170,000

This is not the most expensive red wine in the world, but it’s close enough. The wine comes with a modern wooden piece case designed by furniture craftsman Andrew Bartlett. Only twelve bottles of this wine were ever produced.

Number 7: Bombay Sapphire Revelation – $200,000

This gin is presented in a truly unique, striking translucent blue bottle designed by Gerrard and Baccarat.
