I think we've all heard about exorbitantly expensive champagnes, delicious whiskeys or dignified old wines, which can make you dizzy with both taste and price. Have you ever wondered what are the most expensive vodkas in the world? As it turns out, the niche of "highly exclusive vodkas" also has something to be proud of!
Vodka is not equal to vodka
Price often translates into quality: these slightly more expensive alcohols tend to taste better, their quality can also be felt "the day after the party", when the head hurts less. But how can the incredibly expensive ones differ from expensive and very expensive vodkas? Could you come up with something more in the technology of producing this alcohol? Well ... human ingenuity knows no bounds, which translates into both the recipe and marketing activities.
Who forbids the rich
The most expensive vodkas in the world build their "uniqueness" on several values: historical value, unique (often exclusive and whimsical) production process and a bottle, often resembling a work of art than a drink bottle. This is how Faberge egg-shaped vodka bottles are made, bottles decorated with crystals or drinks filtered by Nordic ice and activated carbon with birch, semi-precious stones or even diamonds!
What is this vodka and how much do they cost?
There are many positions in the ranking of the most expensive and exclusive vodkas in the world. We will introduce you to the most expensive five:
- Billionaire Vodka - yes, it is the most expensive vodka in the world, filtered by diamonds, poured into an inlaid crystal covered with platinum and rhodium, which is additionally adorned with diamond-coated stripes. Price? Bagatela - $ 3.75 million!
- Russo-Baltique Vodka - it was created by the military car manufacturer Russo Baltique, and its characteristic bottle is to replicate the radiator of a 1911 car. Interestingly, the brand owner believes that this vodka is not to drink but to admire. This vodka was created in 2008 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Russo-Baltique car factory, and a large part of the funds for this purpose came from Kazakhstan. You have to pay $ 1.35 million for this original gem.
- Diva Vodka - a drink in a rather inconspicuous, round bottle, distinguished by "only" a strip containing Swarovski crystals. The product itself, however, is to be "the most exciting vodka in the world", which is to be guaranteed by the production process: filtration through Nordic ice, activated carbon with birch and subsequent filtration through sand with lots of precious and semi-precious stones. Are you curious about its exciting taste? Just buy a bottle for $ 1 million and try it!
- Imperial Collection Vodka Faberge eggs - vodka created by the Russian vodka brand Imperial Colection. It is Premium Vodka, made from Russian wheat and rye, poured into Faberge egg-shaped carafes. Interestingly, even the version with a 24-carat gold-plated decanter is extremely cheap compared to the previously mentioned items - it costs "only" $ 9502.
- Belvedere Vodka's Belver Bears - our small podium also had to feature vodka produced in Poland. What distinguishes the "Belver Bears" version from the standard version? It is part of a limited edition from 2011, which went to exclusive places all over France: the characteristic bottle of Belvedere vodka is hugged by a spectacular glass "bear". Price? A little over $ 7,000.
Does it taste better?
Every ordinary mortal will surely ask himself the question: do the most expensive vodkas in the world actually taste better than products intended for "ordinary mortals"? It does not always have to be this way: sometimes the casing, packaging, product promotion and marketing gimmick play a greater role: the product is supposed to be expensive and exclusive, not tasty. The good news is that we can find quality drinks at prices that are affordable for everyone.
