sublimest

Highest in grandeur

Sublimest is the superlative form of sublime—the most elevated, awe-inspiring, or transcendently excellent.

The word appears mainly in literary or poetic contexts: the sublimest views of the Alps, nature's sublimest spectacle.

In everyday speech, "most sublime" is more common, making sublimest sound deliberately old-fashioned or emphatic.
