SIP IT SLOWLY
The most expensive single-malt whiskey
Isabella’s Islay
$$$ 6,2 million USD
We’ve heard of a “pricey pour” before but this sounds
almost too expensive to be true. It’s common, if not
“expected” that your nearest upmarket club is surely
ready to charge you an-arm-and-a-leg for one of their
premium spirits, but Isabella’s Islay whiskey takes
the cake. At well over six million smackeroos it’s
something that only the one percenters can actually
afford to sip on, or if not, hold onto for investment
purposes. So why is it so expensive you ask? The
simple answer is, the bottle. Sure, the price of the
actual pimp-juice inside is high too but the cost of
Islay is primarily attributed to the decanter which
features white-gold and is set with 8,500 diamonds
and 300 rubies. Inside, Islay uses rare ingredients of
the highest-quality to produce a world-class single-
malt scotch whiskey. Next time we’re with the boys
we’ll say, “bottom’s up” on something else because at
that price it’s okay to be stingy.
Isabella’s named its whiskey after the Island of Islay, often
known as the Queen of the Hebrides, a southernmost
island of Scotland.
