'Most expensive bottle of liquor' verified

There is something in the world of adult beverages that sours people to try coming up with "the most expensive ..."

Finish that sentence with "cocktail," "bottle," "spirit," "vintage" or whatever strikes your fancy.

The latest official shocker? The $255,000 paid back on July 20 by an unidentified private collector for a bottle of Tequiila Ley .925 was certified on Oct. 26 by the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive bottle of liquor ever purchased.

The bottle itself ain't cheap. As seen here, held by Tequila Ley .925 CEO Fernando Altamirano, solid platinum and white gold were used to craft the bottle.
