Drinkers of Seattle,

Does your home liquor cabinent look a little depleted? This is a friendly reminder that starting tomorrow the price of a bottle of liquor is going to go up by about a dollar. If you’re buying a bottle of Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac (cost per liter = $1,974.60), you probably won’t even notice the difference, but an extra cost might be significant to those chugging Crown Czar Vodka (cost per liter = $11.60).

So, plan accordingly and make a stop at your friendly neighborhood Liquor Store [liq.wa.gov] and stock up before it’s too late!

Advice for those looking to make the most of the monthly changes in liquor prices –

Buy in June!
• largest absolute increase in total¹ price: Glen Morangie Single Malt (18 yr) goes from $109.95 to $119.95
• largest percent increase in total price: RICH & RARE 3 YR Canadian blended Whiskey goes from $1 to $1.5
  
  Wait until next month!

• largest absolute (and percent) decrease in total price: 1800 Anejo Tequila drops from $39.95 to $31.45
