Chambord isn't exactly super expensive booze (around $60 for a 750ml
bottle, far as I can tell), but they now own the distinction of making the
priciest bottle of alcohol ever. The French company, in collaboration
with renowned jeweller Donald Edge, just introduced a $2 million bottle of
their famed sweet liqueur.
What kind of magic potion did Chambord add to their admittedly
delectable sweet drink? Nothing, actually. The price tag is for the
monstrosity adorning the classic Royale orb bottle, namely the diamonds, golds
and pearls encrusted across the cap, the body and the bottom.
The lavish bottle of Chambord Royale Deluxe is decked in body-hugging
jewelry that's been hand-wrought from 18-carat yellow gold. Not content
with the precious metal, they encrusted it with a decadent smattering of round
pearls and over 1,100 diamonds (round and pear cuts), along with a square-cut
emerald diamond as a centerpiece.
Naturally, this gets both Chambord and Edge on the World
Records Book for producing the
"Most Expensive Bottle of Spirits" ever. With an assembly like
that, though, you can dress up my dog and call it the world's most expensive
unwashed pet, too. Heck, you can fill that bottle up with sewer water and
you'll still have to pay the same amount, making it the most expensive
"toilet usage byproduct" of all time.
The
bottle was created for promotional purposes at the London Fashion Week.
It would also go on display in the Chambord bar
for the launch night of Chambord
presents Breakfast at Tiffany’s ” with Anna Friel & Joseph Cross at the
Theatre Royal, Haymarket.
