Anybody noticed alcohol going up noticeably in price recently?

[Gary Wells]

Within the last week or 2, Macallan 25 YO has gone up from $499.99 to $549.99 and Black Bull 30 YO blend has gone up from $149.99 to $189.99 in the last couple of days at my favorite discount store in Kali.
Anybody else notice anything similar recently?
I just picked up a couple of bottles of Macallan 18 YO last week at $129.99 each and I am wondering if I should pick up another, or two?

Prices have always been high here in Ontario Canada , we're taxed to death on any beer , liquer or tobacco .
A bottle of 18 yo Macallan here is $250
We have to purchase at Liquer Control Board of Ontario ( LCBO) operated stores or stores controlled by them , we have no other choice except some wines which are sold at designated stores such as supermarkets with an area for the wines only .
