4 Dalmore 62 – $215,000

Like Penfolds Ampoule, only 12 bottles of Dalmore 62 were ever produced. Unlike Penfolds Ampoule, it actually holds enough liquor for several drinks and not just one. The most recent transaction involving the vintage came from an anonymous man who purchased one of the bottles at Changai airport in Singapore, which brings us to the question of why such an exceedingly rare drink was being sold at an airport? Whatever the case, that transaction made the Dalmore 62 the world’s most expensive whiskey – not scotch, since it wasn’t produced in Scotland – a title that it will probably hold for the foreseeable future.

5 Armand de Brignac Midas – $215,000

Some drinks are expensive for their rarity, and others for the size of the bottle. Armand de Brignac Midas captures the best of both worlds. The champagne comes in a 30 litre bottle that is brightly, and rather awkwardly, painted gold. The bottle looks like it was designed by a 14-year-old Flavor Flav, and is a sure fire way to make that table of tracksuit-wearing aspiring rappers thoroughly jealous. After all, nothing screams class like ordering a bottle of distilled sugar that costs a quarter of a million dollars and has to be carried to the table by several staff members like a funeral dirge to the last shred of respect your grandfather has for you. He fought in the war for this?

6 Penfolds Ampoule – $170,000


If you aren’t interested in Château d’Yquem and prefer a fine red wine to a white wine, then look no further than Penfolds Ampoule, the most expensive red wine on the market. For only $170,000 you too can sample the best red wine money can buy! The glass blown ampoule holds enough of the Penfolds Block 42 Kalimna Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 vintage for one glass, proving once and for all that if you throw several keywords at people all at once you can override their common sense. Only 12 have ever been produced, and it comes with a wooden piece case designed by furniture craftsman Andrew Bartlett.

7 Château d’Yquem – $130,000


Château d’Yquem is a wine producer in the Bordeaux region of France that’s been crafting wine for 300 years. In 1711, a vineyard was established in the area that would survive several generations of owners and operators. They continue to produce a multitude of wines – including Château d’Yquem and Ygrec – but their most prestigious wine is a batch from 1811. The 1811 Château d’Yquem is one of very few wines to have been given a perfect 100 by wine critic Robert Parker, who sampled it in 1999 and described it as ‘drinking liquified crème brûlée’. High praise. Should you ever eancounter a bottle of this increasingly rare white vintage, expect to shell out a hefty $130,000.

8 Legacy by Angostura – $25,000


Although the world is full of expensive drinks, it’s rare that they’re expensive for political reasons. Legacy by Angostura is one such drink. The rum mixture was crafted specifically to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Trinidad and Tobago’s independence. Only 20 decanters of the rum – composed of a mixture of several rums all aged for at least 17 years – were ever put up for sale. Each rum comes in a case and crystal decanter that was designed specifically by Asprey’s of London, the company that designs jewelry for none other than Prince Charles. For $25,000 a pop, you might as well make sure you’re in Trinidad and Tobago before you’re going to crack it open.

9 The Winston Cocktail – $14,000


For $14,000 you don’t get a casket of rare beer or a bottle of aged scotch; you get a single cocktail. That’s right, a single cocktail can set you back $14,000 if you have the abundance of means and lack of sense to actually order it. Master bartender Salvatore Calabrese can take the credit for crafting the expensive – but almost surely delicious – cocktail. To mix ‘The Winston’, take 60ml of Cognac Croizet 1858 Cuvee Leonie, part Grand Marnier Quintessence, part Chartreuse Viellissement Exceptionellement Prolongé, with just a hint of Angostura Bitters. Elegant, refined, overpriced; it has all the ingredients of a drink for executives.

#10 Vieille Bon Secours Ale – $1200
As we’ll soon see, the domain of ultra-expensive alcohol is dominated by liquor, but that doesn’t mean beer can’t hold a spot down. Vieille Bon Secours is an artisanal belgian beer produced by la Brasserie Caulier, a family brewery based in Péruwelz, Belgium. Don’t worry, for $1200 you get a lot more than a bottle. Each $1200 order of Vieille Bon Secours guarantees you 12 litres of the world’s greatest beer to your doorstep. Since opening in 1995 they’ve produced several yields of beer, but the most valuable is the one that’s been aged for 10 years. The beer has an 8% alcohol content and has a taste flavoured with toffee and anise.

12 Most Expensive Police Cars In The World

Gone are the days of police in standard, reliable and affordable Ford Crown Victorias. The Crown Vic is certainly the most iconic police vehicle in North America, but in 2011 Ford Motor Company stopped production on the Crown Vic police interceptor. Instead, it was replaced with the Ford Taurus. The Taurus hasn’t quite captured the interest of coppers like the old faithful Crown Vic, and instead police cars from other manufacturers like the Dodge Charger are becoming increasingly popular. With changes afoot in the world of police vehicles, law enforcement forces around the world are getting seriously upgraded rides, and a handful of countries are so rich that they can even afford to add supercars to their police fleets.

It wasn’t until 1950 that auto manufacturers began offering specialised police vehicles to be sold to police fleets in the United States; before 1950, police departments bought retail vehicles and modified them themselves. More recently, Lamborghini began modifying Gallardos with police equipment, selling to Italian police forces. Before this, police forces had been known to modify these supercars themselves, after they were seized in drug raids. At first the Lambos were just snazzy public relations tools, but more and more they’re being used as patrol cars.

Sports vehicles being used as patrol cars isn’t exactly a new phenomenon: Camaros have been used as California highway patrol cars for years. But with a recent, new crop of super-expensive and elite police cars, few criminals will be likely to outrun these powerful roadsters in a high-speed chase. Most of the vehicles on this list certainly wouldn’t be affordable options for everyday citizens – certainly, being pulled over by the cops would be that much more intimidating if you saw one of these exotic autos chasing you in the rear view mirror. Here, we’ve taken a look at the twelve most expensive, even enviable police cars in the world, along with the nations in which they’re in use. These cars have the potential to make any regular cop a Supercop – and the pricetag to match.

12. Nissan GT-R in United Arab Emirates: $100,000


via financesonline.com

There are multiple examples of this Japanese supercar being used among police fleets in the United Arab Emirates. In Dubai, this is one of the most affordable cars on the fleet. Abu Dhabi added this powerful machine to it’s police fleet in 2009, beating Dubai to the punch. However, these 485 hp beasts are used for promotional events and not in everyday pursuits.

11. Porsche Panamera in Qatar: $175,000 USD


via gtspirit.com
During the 2011 National Day parade in Qatar, police unveiled an entire fleet of these German luxury sedans. Given that Qatar is the country with the highest per capita GDP in the world, it’s no surprise there’s money to burn on not just one but many of these high-end cruisers. While other countries have no problem adding one or two expensive and luxurious autos to their police fleets as a show piece, it’s rare for an entire fleet of the same model to be used. Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund actually owns Volkswagen AG shares, too, so perhaps they’re indirectly offering up some free publicity to help the bottom line.

10. Bentley Continental GT in United Arab Emirates: $200,000 USD


via kr3zygossip..com
Get used to it, because you’re going to being seeing Dubai on this list a lot. Dubai Police seem to throw money around like it’s going out of style and Dubai Police add new luxury cars and supercars to its fleet all the time. The $200,000 Bentley Continental GT is not even close to being the most ostentatious vehicle boasted by the Dubai Police…

9. Mercedes Benz SLS AMG in United Arab Emirates: $200,000 USD


via extravaganzi.com
Dropping upwards of $200,000 on a police car that will likely be used as nothing more than a mechanical show pony isn’t a problem for Dubai Police. But when you’re as oil rich as Dubai why not spend the cash on a German luxury tourer such as this to showcase your force?

8. McLaren MP4-12C in United Arab Emirates: $240,000 USD


via ksaloverksa.info
With a plate number of 2020, this British supercar owned by the UAE police force might be bragging about the United Arab Emirates’ winning the hosting of Expo 2020. This mighty Dubai patrol car boasts a 3.8-liter twin turbo V8 engine that puts out an extremely impressive 616 hp.

7. Lamborghini Gallardo in Italy: $250,000 USD


via recipeapart.com
In a brilliant bit of marketing and a show of national pride, two Gallardos were donated to the Italian police in commemoration of the force’s 152nd anniversary in 2004. These supercars were used by traffic police in emergency situations. In 2009, one of the police’s Lambos was involved in a collision with a SEAT car, which totaled the Gallardo. But to make up for it, Lamborghini donated a Huracan (Gallardo’s successor) to the Polizia this year.

6. Ferrari FF in United Arab Emirates: $300,000 USD


via dubaidrives.com
Here we go with Dubai again. If there’s a supercar that’s creating a buzz at the motor shows then Dubai has to add it to its police fleet. A four seat, four wheel drive FF would be an ideal supercar for hauling baddies to the pen. But alas, this Italian supercar won’t be used in any hot pursuits. Rather, it will patrol tourist spots around the city.

5. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 in United Kingdom: $380,000 USD


via news.motorbiker.org
At the MPH ’06 car show in Birmingham, England, London Met Police showed off this modified Lamborghini, which assuredly was just for show and not paid for with taxpayer funds. The 6.5-liter V12 supercar was pulled over by other cops curious of the new wheels.

4. Lamborghini Aventador in United Arab Emirates: $450,000 USD


via tunedtech.ca
This 700 hp supercar has a top speed of 350 km/h, but it never reaches its top speed in Dubai. Instead, it’s being paraded around as a marketing device like most of the high-speed patrol cars in Dubai’s fleet.

3. Mercedes Benz Brabus Rocket CLS in Germany: $475,000 USD



You won’t see this on the autobahn. Instead, this Police supercar, which has a V12 offering up 730 twin-turbocharged horses, was created for Germany’s Tune it Safe! program, which aimed to educate German tuners about safe tuning practices.

1. Enchanted Well at Chapada Diamantina National Park, Brazil

The Poco Encantado or Enchanted Well in Brazil is actually not a well, though who knows if it’s really enchanted or not? The well is a giant sunken pool that’s more than a hundred feet deep and startlingly clear. It’s so transparent, that you can see the rocks and tree trunks that lie at the bottommost portion of the pool. The body of water is most beautiful when sun light streams into a small opening and elicits a clear blue reflection on the water.

2. Wisteria Tunnel at Kawachi Fuji Gardens, Japan


If you want to know what it feels like to be in fairy tale land, Wisteria Tunnel in Japan is the place to be. This man-made tunnel made entirely of wisteria flowers is a pastel passageway of fantasy. Of course, the flowers aren’t in full bloom every year, so the best time to go is at the height of spring, during the Wisteria Festival.

3. Red Beach, Panjin, China

Contrary to what many initially think, Red Beach in Panjin, China isn’t actually a beach. There’s no vast expanse of sea and sand for it to be considered a beach—just a type of seaweed called Sueda, which starts growing in spring, turns green in summer, and transforms to a beautiful maroon shade in autumn. So the best time to see it (at least, the small portion that’s open to tourists) is during the months of September to November.

4. Tunnel of Love, Ukraine



Nestled deep in the forests of Klevan, Ukraine is a three-kilometer, grass-covered railroad track that passes through a corridor of thick, lush trees. Aptly called the Tunnel of Love, it has become a backdrop for photo opportunities of lovers and photographers alike. It’s said that if a couple walks through the tunnel and makes a wish, the wish will come true! Superstitious as that sounds, many have paid heed and have visited the tunnel for exactly that purpose.

5. Library of Celsus, Turkey


Like the Parthenon in Greece, the Library of Celsus is all but a structure in ruins, yet it’s still considered a marvel. Located in Ephesus, Turkey, the Library of Celsus was built in homage to the great Roman Senator for which the edifice is named. It once stored 12,000 scrolls for public perusal. Celsus’ remains lie beneath the main entrance of the library and it was a highly unusual practice for any person to be buried within a library.

6. Bagan, Myanmara


Asia has a multitude of breathtaking temples and cities that are proudly unique to the continent and Bagan in Myanmar is one of them. Widely considered equal in splendor to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Bagan is an ancient city that once contained over 10,000 Buddhist temples and pagodas in its heyday. Today, it houses a little over 2,000 ancient structures, but that’s more than enough for the city to be considered a tourist attraction. The best way to see the city in its entirety? Taking a hot air balloon ride that floats you above all the ancient sites!

7. Meteora, Greece

The Meteora, which means “middle of the sky” truly lives up to its name. Located in Thessaly, Greece, it’s one of the largest and most famous complexes of monasteries in the Eastern Orthodox faith. The six monasteries are built on top of sandstone rock formations that jut out above the trees and high into the sky, hence giving rise to the name Meteora. It’s considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site and now that it’s still under the radar in terms of tourist attraction popularity, visiting it would be highly commendable before the crowds discover it!

8. Torun, Poland

Well-preserved medieval towns always make for such beautiful tourist destinations—and the quaint town of Torun in Poland is no exception. Known best as being the birthplace of the famed astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, the medieval area of Torun is beautifully well-preserved. AaIt proudly boasts of structures in the medieval style, all built from brick, many being in their original form. From churches to the town hall to city fortifications, Torun is definitely a site worth seeing.

9. Tower of Hercules, Spain


Just like the Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt, the Tower of Hercules is an ancient lighthouse. Located in the north-western region of Spain, the structure is almost 2,000 years old and is the oldest Roman lighthouse still in use today. It’s rightly considered a National Monument of Spain, as well as a UNESCO world heritage site.

10. Banaue Rice Terraces, Philippines

The famed rice terraces in the Philippines are man-made, which is what makes it such a wonder. Built 2,000 years ago by hand, the Banaue Rice Terraces are often referred to by Filipinos as the “eighth wonder of the world.” It’s said that if all the steps were laid side by side, they would encompass half the globe. Today, numerous tourists trek up the Ifugao mountains to see the terraces, which are still used to plant rice and vegetables.

1) Lena Gercke & Sami Khedira
