The whiskey tax is out of control, but you might be better off offering a whiskey + beer combination and then trading some of these for other whiskey. I know, tough to trade for whiskey. But just an idea. Don’t know if it will give you any less heartburn when you go full circle, though.
Not so much as the whiskey tax , but whiskey values have jumped quite a bit in the last couple months.
Since BA first allowed whiskey, both the value of whiskey and the whiskey tax have increased. Edit: The tax has increased more than the value in terms of proportion. Yes value has increased, and that's To be expected, but the tax has gotten very steep.
Sucks that there are so few SR-71. If there was another beer with a larger bottle count, but same value, I am sure you would be doing better. This reminds me of OFBB. Despite it having a fairly established value (one that is below such bottles like Lot B etc), the difficulty in obtaining one is greater.
@not2quick FYI SR b1 just closed for KBBS 2018, Starry and Cocovibes b3 to give you a reference. Maybe right set of eyes. GL!
