TL;DR
Alcohol is relatively expensive in Seychelles: local beer costs about SCR 34–50 per bottle or can, while a 700 ml bottle of Jack Daniel’s was reported at roughly RUB 6,000. For spirits, buying before arrival or at departure duty free is recommended.
The cheapest option is local Seychellois beer: expect around SCR 50 for a 500 ml can or SCR 34 for a 300 ml glass bottle. Imported beers cost more.
Spirits can be expensive in local shops: a 700 ml bottle of Jack Daniel’s was reported at about RUB 6,000. Locally produced alcohol was not described as a cheap alternative either.
Travelers report that alcohol on the islands can cost roughly twice as much as at departure duty free. If you plan to buy spirits, compare airport prices before your return flight.
