Haven't been shopping at duty-free in AMS for a while (I live in one of the highest alcohol tax jurisdictions in N. America so yeah, it's worthwhile). Went to look for my usuals last month, and noticed that the prices are 1.8-2x what they were 2 years ago, and they weren't on salel when I last bought them. Examples are pastis (take your pick of Pernod or Ricard). 1 l bottle was ~ 12/1 2 years ago but 19-20 now. Stroh (Austrian rum) was also ~12 but over 20 now. Bought Stroh at AMS more than a few times so I know the prices have gone up a lot.
