10. Reforged 20th Anniversary Ale – £105
Craft Beer Co also sells this 750 ml ale from San Diego's AleSmith Brewing Company for £80.15 per pint, which makes the price of the typical London pub pour seem reasonable. However, the Reforged 20th Anniversary Ale is in fact a combination of three beers: Small Weighty (Scotch Lager), Speedway Bold (Magnificent Heavy with espresso) and Old Imbecile (Grain wine) - well that is what this author calls an incentive for cash.
9.Harewood Rum 1780 – £8,225
Which bottle in your cellar is the most valuable? Perhaps a bottle of Port that you had saved for a future Christmas or a bottle of Champagne that looks too good to be opened. What about twelve rum bottles from the 18th century? When Christie's auctioned off the dark and light Jamaican rum in 2013 in Harewood House, Leeds, the dozen bottles sold for a total of £78,225, which was more than six times the asking price.
8.Kors Vodka 24k George V – £24,500
One of only 250 bottles of the limited-edition spirit known as Kors Vodka 24k George V costs £24,500. It was distilled in Italy and Finland according to the same recipe as the vodka that Tsar Nicholas II sent to his cousin King George V. Unfortunately for Nicholas, it was not enough to convince King George V to give his family refuge during the Russian Revolution; however, hopefully diplomatic relations will be more fruitful when you release vodka that costs slightly less than a brand-new Ford Mondeo.
7.Louis XIII: Mathuselam – £80,000
Remy Martin's premium cognac costs £80,000, and a 50-milliliter bottle starts at £700. However, when it comes to brandy, the author advises going big or going home. The six-liter Mathusalem is stunning inside and out, and the La Maison Baccarat-blown decanter holds a spirit that explodes on the palate with unparalleled intensity after being aged in century-old Limousin oak barrels. The Louis XIII boutique was recently relaunched at Harrods for those who wish to browse the variety of sizes that are available, even though only 50 of these giants are produced annually.
6.1863 Niepoort in Lalique decanter – £102,000

1863 Niepoort in a Lalique decanter sold for £102,000, breaking a previous record for fortified wines, at the 2019 Nature Conservancy charity auction. A different 1863 Niepoort had sold for £96,100 in Hong Kong just over four months earlier. Each one is engraved with the name of one of the five generations of van der Niepoort, making them two of only five of these demijohn decanters. The decanter was modeled after one made in 1905 by Lalique in Alsace and is a rarefied tawny blend.
5.1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Romanée-Conti Grand Cru – £424,000
The price of two DRCs from the 1945 vintage at Sotheby's in New York shattered the record for still wine, but thankfully not for the bottle itself. The rare Romanée-Conti from Robert Drouhin's cellar sold for more than £5 million in total, five times more than the pre-sale estimate. The private Asian collector who purchased the more expensive bottle was the only information provided. Click here to learn about other bottles that sell for a little bit more than your typical plonk.
4.Fine and Rare 1926 Macallan – £1.5 million
According to db's list of the ten most expensive whiskies ever, 1926 Macallan is not exactly cheap. Artists Valerio Adami, Peter Blake, and Michael Dillon have all designed labels for Cask #263's numerous contenders for the title of super-priced Scotch. Even though the Fine and Rare might appear a little dull in comparison, it still sold for a record amount at Sotheby's auction.
3.The Emerald Isle Collection – £1.6m
The addition of a Fabergé egg, a custom watch, two gold-plated Cohiba Siglo VI Grand Reserve cigars, obsidian whiskey stones, and numerous other gilded accessories make this a true treasure trove of luxuries. Craft Irish Whiskey Co. / Fabergé In terms of the alcohol itself, there are two bottles of 30-year-old triple-distilled Irish single malt aged in Pedro Ximénez Sherry barrels and old Bourbon casks. The money is going to a good cause because it will raise funds for the Correa Family Foundation, despite the fact that it is certainly excessive (as you would expect given the price).
2.2017 Champagne Avenue Foch – £2.1 million
Shammi Shinh created this sparkling wine that set a new record. It didn't cost that much because the wine was good or the bottle was beautifully gilded; rather, the bottle had an NFT of a mutant ape on the outside. Although many people may not be familiar with the world of non-fungible tokens, brothers Giovanni and Piero Buono were pleased with their winning bid. To celebrate, they probably opened a bottle that was slightly less expensive.
1.Tequila Ley.925 Diamante – £2.8 million
It's what's inside that counts doesn't really apply when you're dealing with multimillion-pound bottles of liquor, and this is no exception. One of the most eye-catching and heaviest additions to any beverage shelf is made of five pounds of pure platinum and 4,100 white diamonds—though there is only one in the world, according to reports. Obviously, the contents at 42% ABV are still of the highest quality: The premium extra aejo is made entirely from select agave and aged for seven years in barrels.
