10. Russo-Baltique Vodka, $1.35 Million
The first most expensive liquor comes from Russo-Baltique, a Russian car maker. The vodka comes in a unique bottle, a replica of the radiator guard used for the Russo-Baltique cars, and made from gold coins minted between 1908 and 1912.
The cap is also made from white and yellow gold with a diamond-encrusted replica of the Russian Imperial Eagle. But that’s not all. The bottle is made from bulletproof glass, so you’ll never worry about breaking this container, even if it’s a bit excessive.

9. The Macallan Intrepid, $1.4 Million
The Macallan is a famous name and one that holds a few of the most expensive liquors, the first being this $1.4 million bottle of whiskey that stands 6 feet tall. Why anyone would really want a bottle as tall as themselves is a mystery, but someone did purchase this bottle for an extraordinary amount.
The Intrepid holds Scotch from two sister casks that were aged for 32 years at Macallan’s Speyside distillery. Unlike so many of the liquors on the list, there’s nothing really fancy going on with the bottle, and nothing is made out of gold or diamonds, but the size factor is enough to make the price understandable.

5. Ley .925 Diamante, $3.5 Million
Recognize the bottle? Another one of the most expensive liquor, and most expensive tequila, goes to the $3.5 million bottle of tequila. While the bottle is similar to the Cognac, it still is valued at a higher price. The Ley .925 Diamante is the most luxurious bottle made with 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.
The agave is slow-roasted before being distilled two times using copper pot stills to create a smooth and complex flavor profile. After being aged for up to seven years in oak barrels, the tequila results in hints of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak. Not only this, but the bottle is designed with pure platinum and white gold, adorned with 4,000 diamonds, totaling in 18.5 carats.

The most expensive liquor, specifically vodka, is the Eye of the Dragon, which is worth a staggering $5.5 million. The vodka was in development for eight months in partnership with Scarselli Diamonds New York. The vodka is created with the finest batch, but the price tag is due to the bottle design and material.
But don’t forget, the vodka is infused with 23-carat gold leaves so you can always drink in luxury. The bottle is hand-blown and has two kilograms of 18-carat gold, and 50-carat yellow diamond with a golden dragon emerging from the neck, encrusting in 15,000 diamonds. The inside even has a spiraling dragon.
2. Isabella Islay Whiskey, $6.2 Million
The aged, single-malt Scotch whiskey has a flavor profile of buttered toast, woodsmoke, and fresh barley. And while it sounds delectable to whiskey-drinkers, you’ll be shocked to know that it costs a whopping $6.2 million. While it’s exceptionally smooth, delicate, and well-balanced, it’s an astonishing price that not many would dare think about.
Of course, a part of this is from the bottle design, as the Isabella Islay Whiskey is decked out in over 5,000 diamonds, 250 rubies, and an abundance of white gold that’s equivalent of two bars. Not only is the whiskey part of the finest craftsmanship but so is the bottle itself.

The largest diamond is one of the world’s rarest diamonds, with each being crystal clear and of flawless quality. Another reason that this bottle is so famous is that only two were made. One has been sold already to an unknown buyer, but one is still available on Stuart Hughes’ website.
