84 Outrageously Expensive Alcoholic Drinks

From $6.2 Million Spirits to $400 Beer

— February 6, 2014 — Luxury
These expensive alcoholic drinks will put you out of more than just a few dollars. Some of these whiskies, champagnes, vodkas and beer run upwards of hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Although these pricey beverages are meant to be consumed, the experience and the exclusivity of being able to make the purchase is probably what gives them most of their appeal.

However, not all of these beverages have a large price tag stamped onto them just for the sport of it. A lot of the time, the price of these expensive drinks is driven up by exquisitely crafted packaging, which adds to the luxury of it all. One of the priciest alcohols you can buy is the Isabella Islay, and at $6.2 million a bottle, it's understandably one of the most expensive whiskeys in the world.
