3) Bowmore Single Malt Scotch
If older is better when it comes to liquor, then it makes sense that a bottle of Bowmore single malt scotch bottled in 1850 brought in a premium price recently. This whiskey, which is more than 150 years old, was sold by way of auction in Glasgow by a private seller to an anonymous person who was bidding by phone. The final selling price for the bottle was more than $59,000, despite the fact that the cork had even fallen into the liquid. It’s also worth noting that the buyer even outbid the distillery itself, which had hoped to regain possession of this bottle since it is thought to be the oldest example of Bowmore than exists today.
2) Dalmore 62 Single Highland Malt Scotch
If you think that last number sounds pricey, keep in mind that a bottle of Dalmore 62 Single Highland Malt Scotch Whiskey fetched an even higher price. This went at auction in 2005 for $58,000. When adjusted for inflation, this equals more than $63,000. This bottle was one of just 12 that were packaged in 1943 and were created from single malts that dated back to between 1868 and 1939. What is particularly interesting about this sale is that the buyer bought this extremely expensive liquor to drink, not save. He opened it and shared it with a group of friends.
1) Scottish Diva Vodka
Topping the list of most expensive liquor is a bottle of Scottish Diva Vodka created by the Blackwood Distillery. This is an unusual, and unusually beautiful, drink that can be customized for the buyer’s style and taste. Each bottle includes an insert that is filled with crystals and gemstones. In addition, rare and valuable jewels can also be added into the presentation. Depending on what you choose, you can expect to spend up to one million dollars for this most exclusive drink.
A Final Note
If you can’t afford to own a full bottle of one the best liquors out there but still want to enjoy the experience of trying one or two of them, you might be able to buy a taste – if you can afford it. Some of the finest restaurants have invested in rare and prestigious whiskeys and other liquors and sell a dram to customers for a thousand or more dollars.
