Per Chilled, "This Cognac is a blend of 1,200 Eaux-de-vie that have been aged from 40 to 115 years. Only 786 decanters were made as that is the amount of Cognac contained within a single tiercon or barrel."

Bowmore

Bowmore 1957, $165,000

Per Chilled, "The famed Islay distillery's offering spent its first 43 years in a sherry cask and the last 11 in a bourbon cask." The design of the glass and platinum bottles "pay tribute to the splashing ocean swells that crash against Bowmore's barrel house on a daily basis."

Mendis

Mendis Coconut Brandy, $1 million

Its makers explained its price tag upon release in 2008: "We have decided to offer the first coconut brandy bottle ever for $1,000,000 to the public. This bottle will be signed and numbered by the founder of our distillery and will come with a certificate of authenticity. The purchaser will be provided with a luxury trip and personal security for the bottle."

Bonhams

Macallan Valerio Adami 1926, $1.1 million

As described in The New York Times, "The bottle's value emanates in part from a link with an Italian. The Macallan, a Scottish distillery, commissioned the pop artist Valerio Adami to design a label for the whisky, which was bottled in 1986 after aging for 60 years." The Times goes on to explain that only 24 bottles were made, 12 with labels by Valerio Adami and 12 with labels by another artist, Peter Blake.

Tequila Ley

Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac Grande Champagne, $2 million

This is one of the rarest Cognacs in the world, says Thrillist. "Named to pay homage to King Henri IV, the only thing rarer than the Cognac is the bottle itself. This sterling platinum and 24-carat gold bottle is covered in over 6,000 diamonds."

Tequila Ley
