The 10 Most Expensive Alcohol In The World – 2022
Most of us love to indulge in a drink now and again. Few things in this world that can help you unwind better than a shot of single malt whiskey or a glass of a full-bodied, robust red wine. Unfortunately, for most of us, these items on the list of the most expensive alcohol in the world in 2022 will never make it into our shopping carts. However, let’s take a peek into what the one percent pour into their goblets and glasses.
The 10 Most Expensive Alcohol in the World-2022
10. Armand de Brignac
- $265,000
Armand de Brignac Midas champagne, made famous and popular by rappers and sports stars, is the world’s most expensive champagne ever!
It has been aged for approximately 30 years and is made with some of the finest grapes to achieve its distinct flavor.
However, the gold-painted bottle, which was designed to be one of the most expensive drinks in the world, is more than likely what contributed to its immense popularity.
09. 1945 Romanee- Conti Wine
- $558,000
The ninth most expensive alcohol bottle is the 1945 Romanee-Conti Wine, priced at $558,000.
Romanee-Conti has established itself as the king of collectible wines, with 1945 being its most prized vintage.
In 1945, they only produced 600 bottles, which was significant because it was the last year before they replaced their vines.
Sotheby’s described the wine as “concentrated and exotic, with seemingly everlasting power — a wine at peace with itself.”
08. Macallan 64-Year-old In Lalique
- $625,000
Coming in at number 8 is the most expensive whiskey in the world, Macallan 64-Year-Old In Lalique.
It was designed to break records, so it’s no surprise that it costs a whole lot of money.
Macallan is known for producing high-quality single-malt whiskey, so it’s not surprising that they went all-in on this challenge on the 150th anniversary of the famed crystal artisan Rene Lalique
Only four bottles were ever made, and the combination of the craftsmanship of the bottle and the whiskey itself is what drives the price of this drink so high. The whiskey is aged for 64 years.
Each bottle is made of pure, hand-cut crystal and weighs 25 pounds without any liquor inside.
07 . Mendis Coconut Brandy VS
- $1 Million
Coconut is a good accompaniment to alcohol, but Mendis went even further and created an entirely coconut-based brandy. So, it’s not surprising that it could fetch such a high price!
W.M Mendis, the founder of the House of Mendis, signed and numbered each bottle.
But, despite its rarity and scarcity, $1 million for a bottle of alcohol is extremely extravagant and ostentatious!
At $1 million Mendis Coconut Brandy VS is also the most expensive brandy in the world in 2022.
6. Diva Vodka
- $1 Million
If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary and price is not an issue, then the next most expensive alcoholic drink on the list might be for you.
Diva Vodka is made with natural spring water, triple distilled, and filtered through precious gems and diamonds. Following that, it is poured into a bottle with a slew of Swarovski crystals in a glass tube running down the center of the bottle.
Aside from that, you’re paying $1 million for a bottle of Vodka that’s likely to taste the same as any other high-quality vodka brand.
But, if you’re an A-list celebrity or billionaire, why the hell not?
5. Russo-Baltique Vodka
- $1.35 Million
Russo-Baltique Vodka is next on the list of the most expensive alcohol in the world in 2022.
With a bottle costing a whopping $1.35 million, you’ll need to really love your Vodka to purchase one.
Each bottle top is made of 100 percent pure gold with inlaid diamonds and is designed to look like a vintage automobile.
Don’t worry, unless you’re a Russian billionaire or oligarch, you won’t be targeted with bizarre marketing campaigns or followed around the internet with advertisements. It’s only aimed at the above-mentioned target market because they’re the only ones who can afford it!
4. Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne
- $2 million
This heritage cognac, which costs a whopping $2 million, is number 4 on this expensive liquor list.
The Cognac itself has been aged for 100 years, and the bottle is covered in diamonds and coated in 24-karat gold. It is one of the rarest drinks in the world.
It appears to be something befitting a gift to a medieval Monarch after his coronation.
3. Tequila Ley .925
- $3.5 Million
This bottle of Tequila ranks third on our list but has yet to be purchased.
The 6,400 different diamonds on the bottle, they claim, help to improve the flavor of the tequila, which is why it’s so expensive to buy. The price tag makes it the most expensive tequila in the world in 2022
However, it is still unsold, so it could sell for much less in the future. We will just have to wait and see. Keep your checkbook close by.
But, for the time being, it is the world’s third most expensive alcoholic drink!
2. Billionaire Vodka
- $3.7 Million
Not surprisingly, a brand with the word “billionaire” in its name made the list of the most expensive alcohol in the world in 2022. It also ranks as the most expensive vodka in the world.
Billionaire Vodka manufactures the alcoholic drink entirely by hand and on-demand, with the brand motto “It’s good to be the king.” To ensure exclusivity, each bottle is made in small micro-batches using a top-secret Russian recipe.
Leon Verre designed the massive five-liter bottle, which is covered in approximately 3,000 diamonds and Swarovski crystals.
Billionaire Vodka is the second most expensive alcohol brand in the world in 2022.
1. Isabella Islay Whiskey
- $6.2 Million
What would you give to have the perfect whiskey blend that oozes pure luxury? Isabella’s Islay is the world’s most luxurious whisky, as well as the most expensive beverage product in the world, with a mind-boggling, staggering, out-of-this-world price of $6,200,000. The Luxury Beverage Company of the United Kingdom created this exclusive nectar of divinity. What makes it so unique? It is so because the bottle is encrusted with – wait for it – 8500 diamonds, nearly 300 rubies, and nearly two bars of white gold, all encircling an English Crystal decanter and the Very Old Single Malt cask strength Islay whisky inside, which is also available in refills. It is obvious why this is the most expensive alcohol in the world in 2022.
The Isabella Special Edition is also available for $740,000 in crystal, white gold, and diamond lettering, with the Very Old Single Malt cask strength Islay whisky inside. Both casks are also available for refills. This is the perfect gift for the most important man in your life – father, brother, husband, lover, son, etc. Well, only if you are fabulously wealthy, that is.

Wow, what a fascinating list of expensive alcohols! I don’t think that any of these are on my list of things to buy, but I am impressed by the craftsmanship that shows up even on the bottles and packaging. The Diva Vodka bottle with its column of crystals is just gorgeous. Thanks for the fun read!
Hi Aly
The exorbitant costs are generally a result of the ostentatious packaging.
I thought I was a being a bad boy by indulging in Pappy Van Winkle bourbon, or even the 25-year-old Macallan. They are not cheap at a couple of thousand per bottle, but nowhere near the level, you showed me.
I wish there was a way to get a relatively inexpensive sample of these kinds of libations. Most of us will never, ever be able to afford (or if we could justify) the extravagance these bottles represent.
It is fun to look at these kinds of things though, so I thank you for taking the time to compile such a list. Looking forward to others!
Hi Todd
The 25-year-old Macallan is definitely a treat and a privilege to consume. So don’t feel too bad about not indulging in the listed libations.
Wow these are some of the most expensive, I hadn’t an idea alcohol can come at such extravagant prices! Definitely interesting to read.
The diamond and Swarovski, I think is a bit over the top especially if they aren’t going to keep the bottle. Anyways thanks for this, it was cool to know though it is out of our budget!
Hi Sariyah

Hi Bojana
Thank you for the insightful comment.
Hey l did not know that alcohol can be so expensive. But according to the description it means the bottles are the ones that carries the high price. That is a great article with top of the class arrangement .l just want to know if the alcohol is consumed in a day or maybe for many months?
Hi Kudzanai
Thank you for stopping by. At these prices, I would assume that the alcohol is purchased as an investment by aficionados and collectors.
