Posted on 28 January 2016. Tags: Expensive, Most, Vodkas, World

Every year American’s consume 396,000,000 liters of Vodka. This is nothing compared to Russia’s 2,073,000,000 liters. Yes, that’s two billion. With the B. From Bottles of cheap spirits like Popov up to premium manufactures like Grey Goose, it has a 26.6% share of the American spirit market, making it the most widely sold spirit in the United states. Today we’re going to profile the top 10 most expensive Vodkas in the world. We aren’t saying these are the 5 best vodka’s in the world, but they sure are the most expensive.

#1 Absolut Crystal
Debuted in 2010, Absolut partnered with premier designers Skogsberg&Smart to make their first entry into the premium spirit market. Featuring a handmade crystal bottle, just 800 are produced a year. Each bottle is finished by a master cutter then signed like a work of art. At most, five bottles are produced a day making it one of the rarer spirits on the list. Costing €970 or $ 1053, this is one of the most affordable spirits of the ultra-premium market.

#2 Alize, Swarovski editon
In 2007, Alize released a special edition for Valentine’s day. This was available for one year only, making it one of the rarer items on this list. While not a pure vodka, it was a blend of cognac, vodka, rose, lychee, strawberry and passion fruit. The bottle was covered entirely in pink Swarovski crystals to commemorate the holiday, with white crystals adorning the top. This lover’s edition spirit would set you back a cool $ 2,000. As of this writing, I couldn’t find a single bottle for sale, which means if you’re really desperate to try it, you’re probably out of luck.

#3 Mel & Rose Gold Imperial edition
This vodka is mainly on the list not because of the spirit itself. Although premium, it’s the same spirit you’d get from any other premium manufacture. This one is special because of the casing. For $ 2,450 you’re buying a 750ml bottle in a handmade gold faberge egg. Each egg comes with a carafe with decorative lid and four fixing glasses also made by hand out of venetian glass. If that’s too rich for your blood, they also offer other versions made of Ruby, Sapphire, Pearl, Emerald and Silver. While the gemstone editions are only $ 1,179, the silver is almost as expensive as the gold at $ 1,945.

#4 Stoli Himalayan
Part of Stolichnaya’s pristine water series, this bottle is expensive not just because of a fancy bottle (although, it does come with a gold plated icepick) but because of one ingredient: water from a special reservoir of melted Himalayan snow. Limited to just 300 bottles, this premium spirit was sold in a black walnut box with a gold plated closure. At $ 3,000 a bottle, it’s far from the most expensive on the list but is one of the most unique. If you’re so inclined, bottles can still be found online…for $ 4,500.

#5 Royal Dragon: Emperor edition
This one is on the most expensive list for a few reasons. It’s a limited edition of 888 bottles (the Chinese number for good luck), with a handblown glass dragon in the bottle. The closure is an 18 karat gold pendant studded with diamonds. Made with the highest quality ingredients, the most unique feature of this vodka was the edible gold flakes floating in it. That’s right. You’re drinking vodka and gold. This spirit is unique in another manner: they won’t tell you how much it is. The official website has no price, even when you add it to your cart. It’s sold by contact only.
