Top 10 Strongest Alcoholic Drinks in the

World
If food is the way to a man’s heart, then drink is the way to his soul. That’s something all
beverage producers know as they flock to come up with concoctions ever more powerful and
alluring to please the palates of their customers. But the connoisseur’s palate isn’t that easy to
impress, and that’s why private reserves and secret recipes are brought to light again and
again, each one more vigorous than the other.

For those in search of that ambrosial blend that will numb the senses and release the mind,
we’ve put together a medley of some of the most impressive drinks to have ever seen the light
of day. We present them to you in descending order, from the least strong to the fieriest,
hoping that you’d give them a try, one day.

10. Elixir végétal de la Grande-Chartreuse – 71%

A cordial with nearly three centuries of history behind its pungent zest, the Chartreuse elixir is
still made using the secret recipe of Marshal of Estrées. To this day, the liqueur garners the
essences of over 130 plants whose aromatic and medicinal properties awarded them an entry
in the 400-year-old manuscript that holds the secret recipe. The herbs are stored at the
Grande-Chartreuse Monastery and then processed at the Voiron distillery by Monks and the
resulting liquor is left to mature in oak-casks, in the largest liqueur cellar in the world. Monks
decide when the cordial is ready, and then the bottles are presented in a lovely wooden case to
Chartreuse devotees from over 100 countries, across the globe. It can be served straight,
diluted, or dissolved in sugar.

9. Bacardi 151 – 75.5%

Distilled on Bermuda’s shore, Bacardi 151 packs at least twice as strong a punch as your
typical rum. With an alcohol proof level weighing in at no less than 151, this Bacardi is akin
to regular rum, but it’s the black sheep of the rum family. This overproof rum is the essential
ingredient for high proof cocktails and flaming drinks, and is too potent to be drunk straight.
It can be floated and ignited on top of strong shots, and used in punches.
8. Inner
Circle
Rum –
75.9%

An Australian rum made with Fiji sugar, Inner Circle was an exclusive colonial reserve that
only a privileged few of the sugar refining company’s clients were entitled to. As word of this
potent brown rum drink made from fermented molasses reached the ears and palates of the
masses, the rum became available to more and more customers. No longer confined to the
exclusive walls of the ‘Inner Circle’, the ‘Pty Limited’ edition has become an award-winning
overproof rum.
7. Devil Springs Vodka – 80%

Devil’s Springs 151 Proof Vodka is the perfect vodka base for your macerations. From dried
fruit to lavender, there’s no potable product that can escape its fiery wrath. When the essences
of your fruit and herbs have surrendered to the alcohol, simply dilute the concoction one-to-
one with water, and your palates won’t know what hit them. From flavoured vodkas to bitters,
cocktails or gin spirits, there’s no limit to the combinations this New Jersey devil can create
for you.
6. Stroh Rum 80 – 80%

‘The Spirit of Austria‘ comes with a 160 proof punch and is a fierce contender to the title of
best European rum in history. Not only is it a symbol of Austrian tradition, but it’s also a
delightful ingredient in exotic dishes and sweet desserts. This potent shooter presented in a
flask bottle is the hot drink that keeps skiers’ hearts alert and heated on the snowy slopes of
the Austrian mountains.

5. Poitin 1661 – 90%

An Irish spirit with a turbulent history that dates back over a millenium, the poitin is world
renowned for its medicinal qualities. Distilled domestically in small copper pots (‘poitins’),
the drink is traditionally made of barley or potatoes. In 1661, Poitin was banned, and the ban
lasted over three centuries as the English Crown tried to suppress Irish independence. Twenty
years down the line, this timeless spirit is now a symbol of Irish resurrection, and it carries the
bitter vigor of its people in its fervent flavour.

4. Mariënburg rum – 90%

Mariënburg rum is a Surinamese spirit first produced with sugar from Mariënburg, dating
back from the 17th century. The plantation producing it survived until the ’80s, and
throughout its evolution, the rum developed a full-bodied texture that can be enjoyed ‘neat’ or
diluted. The crown jewel of the Suriname distillery, this 90% alcohol rum can be enjoyed
straight, but with caution.
3. Everclear – 95%

A neutral grain spirit with 190 alcohol proof, Everclear 95% is distilled by Luxco, the former
David Sherman Company. So powerful is its punch, that the drink is banned in most
countries. Should you develop the courage to try it, make sure you have your 112 or local
emergency service number on speed dial.

2. Cocoroco – 96%

Alcoholic beverage native to Bolivia, Cocoroco is usually sold in tin cans. Made from
sugarcane and coconut, the drink brandishes several logos, the most notable of which are
Ceibe and Caiman. All you need to do to get your hands on a tin is to travel to Chile and to go
to a local fair in General Lagos, on Sundays. Also erroneously called ‘aguardiente’ (burning
water), the drink is much stronger than the Colombian and Brazilian counterpart, so don’t
make the mistake of confusing one for the other.
1. Spirytus Stawski – 96%

This rectified spirit brewed in Poland is nothing other than liquid fire. It has absolutely no
trace of odour or residue, and to the untrained eye, looks exactly like water. A sip of this 192
proof drink is potentially the most numbing experience your palates could ever feel, so avoid
drinking it straight. With the excellent grain fermentation technology and exacting quality
standards, Stawski recommends Spirytus Luksusowy as the absolute ideal base for premium
alcoholic blends.
