Vodka has gained popularity for lacking an aroma and being devoid of flavor. This makes it an excellent base for many cocktails. It is also widely available and can be found in almost every bar. Over time, vodka has been transformed from the plain and basic drink known to most people, to a drink full of character, infusions have gained popularity. In recent times, a clique of ultra premium top range vodka brands have emerged. The following are the top 10 most expensive Vodka brands.
1. Billionaire vodka – $3.7 million
This is the most appalling display of lavishness. The $3.7 million bottle carries 5 liters of vodka, the content is inconsequential. The bottle is a design by luxury design artist, Leon Verres. The bottle is studded with over 3,000 diamonds accentuated with Swarovski crystals. The vodka is said to be developed from a secret recipe and filtered with diamond filters, however, this does not justify its price.
