Ever wondered how much a really good bottle of spirits might set you back? A few thousand dollars perhaps? Think again. Although these aren’t direct comparisons as we are not comparing like with like (in terms of volume, etc.), here are 10 of the most expensive spirits to be found in the world. Although rare Scotch whiskies and historic Cognacs dominate our list, also present is high-end tequila, vodka and rum.
Topping the list is a tequila that’s made solely from the sap of blue agave plants, yet it’s probably the diamond encrusted platinum bottle that really accounts for its record price. Prices quoted are either asking prices or prices already paid.
