Royal Salute has created the world's most expensive whisky. At $200,000 a bottle with only 21 bottles produced, the Tribute to Honour is truly a collector's item. The whisky was created to honor the Honours of Scotland, which are the Scottish Crown Jewels. With the jewels in mind, Royal Salute tapped the creative director of storied jewelry house Garrard, Stephen Webster, to help design the bottle. Webster's creation is decorated with 22 carats of black and white diamonds for a total 413 diamonds. The whisky itself is a blend with each component a minimum of 45 years old.
