Everyone has their own tastes and some have very expensive tastes. Seeing I’m a vodka aficionado and what we do here is highlight some of the finer things in life, this post was a natural fit for me. Little did I know, I would see some vodkas that would absolutely blow my mind while researching this topic.

So what makes a vodka so expensive? From my limited expertise here’s what I can tell you – it’s either the packaging and bottle, the level of purity and processes behind creating the vodka, or both. Sounds pretty obvious right? Well, it doesn’t really hit you until you take a look at some of the vodkas below and realize their bottles are covered in crystals or the vodka is distilled by running crystal-clear water and wheat over millions of dollars worth of diamonds (Billionaire Vodka). Pretty amazing.
