What Makes a Liquor Expensive?

Certainly the top quality of ingredients used in its production, unique recipe, years of expertise and tradition, and a strong brand.

But that is not all - in the case of the most expensive liquors in the world, judging a book by its cover is appropriate, and even recommended.

The design of the bottle matters in the world of luxury spirits. The unique decanters entice with real gold, unconventional shapes, and - of course - delicious content.

Dictador M-City Golden Cities Series figures on the list of the top 10 most expensive liquors in the world. Available for purchase by invitation only, the bottle is handmade and plated in 24K gold.

The decanter, designed by a Polish artist M-City, is covered in an engraved map of Cartagena - the city hosting Dictador’s distillery. Its author, Mariusz Waras, also known as M-City, specializes in urban art - encompassing various forms of street art, such as murals. He used his experience and a keen eye for detail to create a piece of art inspired by the roots of Dictador rum.

The contents of the bottle contribute to its status of one of the most expensive liquors in the world. They depend entirely on the buyer, who gets to choose the blend.

A bottle of Dictador M-City Golden Cities Series comes with a trip to Cartagena, Colombia, and a visit to Dictador’s distillery there. The bottle’s owner can craft their own rum from the 110 private casks available.

Starting at 1.5 million USD, this Dictador bottle is among the top 10 most expensive liquors in the world. The price is subject to change, depending on the level of personalization.

The one-of-a-kind decanter, the trip to a Colombian distillery, and the exclusive possibility to compose one’s own blend create a unique experience, well worth its value.
