I mentioned a week or so ago that I had the pleasure once (and only once) of sampling a $500 bottle of wine. I have also been fortunate enough to have sampled some Pappy Van Winkle that a good friend of mine was willing to share. I’ve definitely been lucky to taste some of the top end beverages that are somewhat available to “normal” individuals like myself. It made me curious as to what the most expensive bottle of booze is right now. Below is what I found…and though it’s more for the diamonds on the bottle (and exclusivity because there are only 2 bottles out there in the world), I’m quite sure somebody’s Nonna probably makes a limoncello that would rival the taste of this 44 million dollar bottle…granny just needs to adorn the bottle with a lot of expensive gems to get the price tag up!
D’Amalfi Limoncello Supreme
Surprise, surprise — the most expensive bottle of liquor ever sold is a limoncello. There are only two known bottles of D’Amalfi Limoncello Supreme, and their estimated worth is in the $44 million range. You read that right. $44 million with an M. While the limoncello contained within is, no doubt, fabulous, it’s the stunning diamonds adorning the bottle that account for its off-the-charts price tag. There are three 13-carat diamonds around the bottle’s neck. And on the body? An 18.5-carat diamond.
Combine that with the absolute rarity of this particular bottle of Italian liquor, and you have a record breaker with a price that’s as pucker-inducing as the sweet citrus liqueur it contains. How does it taste? Nobody really knows since the owners of the bottles remain unnamed — one commissioned a single bottle, and D’Amalfi created the second, whose whereabouts are unknown.
