Last trip we stopped at a big grocery store since we had a 2 bedroom with full kitchen.Next week it's just a normal hotel room for me and the wife.Is there a stop along the way that would be more an in out experience.Looking to purchase 24 beer,ice and mixers (ting) landing at 1 in the afternoon midweek.
Also,what is the local vodka you would purchase?What is it compared to?price?I usual duty free two litres but like all vodka and curious to know.
Thanks in advance!

The local vodka is Kirov, I think. Comparable to any cheap Vodka in North America; and it's distilled in Jamaica. No worries. It's fine when mixed. It has a blue label; if that helps to identify. Less than 10 dollars Canadian a liter or 750 ml.

Is there a duty free once we land?
The local vodka is rum! We used vodka our first trip on an A/I and then changed over to white rum and never looked back. Give it a shot, drinks really well on the island.
kiosk duty free at da airport after you depart immigration and before you hit customs.......Originally Posted by Lazy705
maybe you save a buck or two.....but not nearly the savings as the duty free when you depart Mobay...

If you're wanting to try a local vodka, try the Rum Bar brand vodka...much better than Kirov...and very affordable. You can find it readily at HiLo, Quality Traders etc.
Yes, Rum Bar Vodka is good and cheap too.
