The Six Most Expensive Alcohol That Ever Existed

cognac.com — Cognac is usually referred to as one of the most expensive alcohol in the world. Although the habit of cognac can get pretty expensive, there are good affordable cognacs. When it comes to alcohol prices though, cognac isn’t alone in the expensive category. As we were looking around on the web, we came across some alcohols that were priced pretty...

  • jimv1983, on 05/08/2009, -1/+51It seems to be that most of those are so expensive just because the bottle they are in.
  • Myztry, on 05/09/2009, -0/+23* The worlds most expensive bottles that contain alcohol...
  • inactive, on 05/08/2009, -2/+22*****...I had a 6 pack of Miller Lights that cost me $250k...due to adultery...in my divorce. My husband's bastard best friend. That's high dollar.
  • inactive, on 05/09/2009, -1/+18If I were rich I would take that two million dollar Cognac with me to every bar I went to. Then, when a bar fight happens (which it inevitably will) ill smash the bottle on the bar and BAM, 2 million dollar shank.

    Has anyone ever been stabbed by a 2 million dollar shank? I think not.
  • eSentrik, on 05/08/2009, -2/+15Anyone else notice that the Tequila and Cognac have the same bottle?

  • m4ttGT, on 05/09/2009, -0/+13You know that $2 million dollar bottle of cognac wouldn't cost so much if it weren't for the bottle. I want whats IN the bottle. I don't need some fancy bottle with 6000+ diamonds and 24k gold on it to enjoy it.
  • cowboy86, on 05/09/2009, -0/+13Considering it's made out of platinum and gold you probably couldn't break it.

    Girlfriend:"Honey that's a pretty bottle where'd you get it?"
    Me:"Some guy at the bar broke his wrist trying to break it on the bar thinking he was going to stab someone. So I just hit him in the head with a regular bottle and stole it."
  • JFitzpatrick, on 05/09/2009, -0/+12I'll volunteer just to say I got stabbed in a bar fight by a 2 million dollar bottle of Cognac.

    "How'd you get that scar Uncle J?"
    "Well... have I got a story for you..."
  • GoKings, on 05/09/2009, -0/+12A lot of these are just the most expensive alcohol containers.
  • derek20cali, on 05/09/2009, -1/+12How do I shot web?
  • t1n0m3n, on 05/09/2009, -0/+9I keep 34 thousand cases of Zima under my house to help keep my heating and cooling bills down.
    IMA GONNA BE RICH!
  • IllBeBack, on 05/09/2009, -0/+8Alcoholic Beverages*
  • TYEZ, on 05/09/2009, -0/+8Haha that was my first thought when I saw it dipped in gold with diamonds. Heck a bottle of normal tap water would be the same price.
  • paulieslim, on 05/09/2009, -0/+7$18,500 for the 2 million dollar Henri Cognac

  • fwertz, on 05/09/2009, -0/+6Just think, in 150 years, Zima will be worth a couple g's.
  • trymene, on 05/08/2009, -0/+6You can actually try the Wray and Nephew Rum in a Mai Tai, if you have $1400 to blow and are visiting Belfast anytime soon:

    Also, was anyone kind of annoyed that they made the singular and plural form of "alcohol" the same?
  • Fruitrollups, on 05/09/2009, -0/+5I wish I had the money to blow on a bottle wine that isnt even drinkable anymore.
  • sluggoo, on 05/09/2009, -0/+5Asterisk*
  • TheMarathonSoul, on 05/08/2009, -1/+6they mixed up the tequila and cognac bottles
  • Daemastrius, on 05/09/2009, -0/+4Welcome to Digg!
  • LegomanArt, on 05/09/2009, -0/+4Triple distilled vodka filtered through sand and diamonds! Because you know that's how good vodka is made!
  • GriffCo, on 05/09/2009, -0/+4 They probably taste the same to anyone who has any bit of a liver left.
  • twangbender, on 05/09/2009, -1/+4did a middle schooler write this?
  • BlakeEM, on 05/09/2009, -0/+3Many are a total gimmick like Diva vodka. First it's standard wheat-based and only 3 times distilled (well 4 if you count the diamonds.) Titos on the other hand is also handmade and costs about $15 and is distilled 6 times and I bet tastes far better compared to that diva crap no matter how many jewels they put in the bottle.
  • TheCollective00, on 05/09/2009, -0/+3When I worked at the Rio in Las Vegas at a fine dining restaurant, we had a cognac called "Hardy Perfection". It was 150 years old, there were only 300 bottles of it worldwide, and it costs $650.00 A SHOT. I never once saw somebody buy it the whole time I worked there lol. I wonder how much the whole bottle is worth, and if it would make this list?
  • bobboberton, on 05/09/2009, -2/+5Alcohols*
  • mr5150, on 05/09/2009, -0/+3after drinking those you may want to bottle the urine and sell it on ebay as liver filtered/most expensive (*brand/year) alcohol in the world.
  • Vektuz, on 05/09/2009, -0/+2To be fair, "expensive" is simply how much the asking price is.

    Tell you what, I'll sell you the half-drunk bottle of rum I have beside me for ten million dollars. Whoops. It just became the most expensive alcohol. Guess they'd better update that page now.
  • radiofrequency, on 05/09/2009, -0/+2HA HA. I have a half-finished 1.75L bottle of stoli. I've attached a rabbit's foot to it with duct tape and priced it at $4m.
  • DuneMurderous, on 05/09/2009, -0/+2There's a picture of Trogdor on the tequila.
  • buddamus, on 05/09/2009, -0/+2Even if I hated the taste of what I was drinking it would be amazing to know I am drinking something worth $2,000,000.
    Then I would feel bad that I wasted so much when others have so little
  • shanidachine, on 05/09/2009, -0/+2I love how all the grog storys come up during the weekend..
  • PunkyFeople, on 05/09/2009, -0/+2You can have the cognac, I'll have the bottle then.
  • ChuyMatt, on 05/09/2009, -0/+2...
  • Cowzeetgrass, on 05/09/2009, -0/+2You can put any price on anything you want. The only reason any of these are the prices they are is because, someone, somewhere, was stupid enough to actually buy one. Think warning labels. Some of them can get to the point where you think, no way someone was actually dumb enough to use said product in that way, but if someone hadn't, then there wouldn't be the warning label.
  • nullcodes, on 05/09/2009, -1/+3I like vodka, but that million dollar vodka is just stupid -- just cause it's filtered thru gems doesn't make it good. I'd have to be piss drunk already off Stoli or Grey Goose or Absolut or Skyy or something to order it.
  • weeFred, on 05/09/2009, -0/+12/6 are from Scotland, should I be proud?
  • cowboy86, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1Tryin' to smash?
  • dncarlson, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1No they weren't, though the description of the 6,500 diamonds certainly sounds more like the tequila than the cognac. Notice the 'Anejo 100% De Agave' on the tequila bottle.
  • T8erT0T, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1"The vodka is triple distilled and then passed through a sand of crushed diamonds and other gems."
    ......ok
  • ancalagon73, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1Mmmm. I love The Macallan. Not that one, of course. A good 18 year. Now we're talking.
  • zosX, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1It all seems like a sham to sell expensive looking bottles of (probably) cheap alcohol. A million for an ugly, tacky, bottle of cognac?? Please. Look at the wine that thomas jefferson owned. That only went for 160,000. Which do you think is more priceless?
  • 56bucks, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1Lame list. If the bottle is platinum and diamond, the 2 million is for the bottle, not the booze! If I could have any of those, I'd take the wine....
  • zosX, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1You seem so proud of that.
  • LonelyTylenoL, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1I agree with the first part. Alcohol IS a drug.

    The second part, I have no opinion one way or the other.
  • robbiedo, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1What are expensive alcoholic beverages with an intrinsic value? I personally like port wine. I have drank $30 bottles, and $7 bottles. I happen to like the Trader Joe's $7 bottle.
  • sonofashoe, on 05/09/2009, -1/+2What tea-toddler submitted this tumbler of trite?
  • Hardataq, on 05/09/2009, -0/+1Is that Santana DVX? That's my joint!
