World's Most Expensive Gin

Gin is made by flavoring pure grain alcohol with juniper berries and other natural flavors. While it hasn’t been as popular in mixed drinks as vodka, gin has made something of a comeback in recent years. It’s no surprise, then, that the most expensive gin bottle in the world was produced in 2008.

Bombay Spirits Co.’s Bombay Sapphire brand of gin is flavored with almond, lemon peel, liquorice, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb, grains of paradise and, of course, juniper berries. When Bombay Spirits teamed up with jewelers Baccarat and Garrard and designer Karim Rashid, the result was Revelation.

Five Revelation bottles were created—each one a handmade crystal bottle topped with a bejeweled stopper with a sapphire centerpiece. The collection was unveiled at Garrard’s in London and then sold at five different airports.

Each bottle had a price of $200,000.
