The title of the world’s most expensive whisky goes to Isabella’s Islay, and its price will blow you mind which costs around USD 6 million, which is nearly Rs. 52 crore in Indian currency. It’s not just the whisky that is special, the bottle itself is a big reason behind this huge price. The whisky inside is a premium, well-aged Scotch, known for its top quality. But honestly, who would buy a bottle worth as much as a luxury villa in Noida or Gurugram just to complain about the taste?

The real reason this whisky is so expensive is the bottle. It’s made of English crystal and is a true piece of art. The bottle is decorated with over 8,500 diamonds, 300 rubies, and white gold. Even the lettering on the bottle is made with diamonds and can be customized with the buyer’s name or initials. The red writing on the front is designed using rubies, and the bottle is coated with white gold not once, but twice.

Each bottle comes in a luxurious wooden case, adding even more to its royal feel. That’s why Isabella’s Original whisky costs a whopping USD 6 million, more for the luxury and less for the drink itself.

How much does just one peg cost?
A single bottle of Isabella’s Islay whisky costs around Rs. 52 crore and contains 750 ml of whisky. If you break it down, just one 30 ml peg of this whisky could cost you over Rs. 2 crore! With such a huge amount, you could easily buy a luxury flat in Noida or Gurugram instead.
