Is it worth bringing my own alcohol ?

This might help with your decision making. Crown Royal Canadian whisky (proudly made in Manitoba Canada) was $4261J at the HiLo today. With 16% GCT that make it just a little under $50 Canadian dollars. A 1.14 liter bottle in Manitoba right now is $40 Canadian dollars. So roughly 20% more here for high end imported sprits. Between the HiLo, Green Grocer, Mega Mart in MoBay, there is pretty much everything you could possible want for sprits located right here (or close by).

A couple of comments:
I believe duty free implies no limits. The limits stated on customs forms apply to what you can bring in before duties are due.

If you don't mind the extra weight, boxed wine packs very nicely when removed from the box. Its equal to 4 bottles which costs more then three times as much in Ja and without the same risks of the wine being corked (has happened more then once in JA).

Duty free does not imply "no limits"...it means a limited (set) amount of product you will not be required to pay duty on.

Coming into Jamaica...there is no duty payable on the first 2 litres...duty is required after more than 2 litres...

Any idea what that same bottle cost at the duty free store in Sangster?

Kold...duty free in Sangster arrivals was almost half the price comparing the grocery/booze store pricing in Negril, Montego Bay etc.

Every year we pick up a few bottles of different styles of rum at the duty free and it seems much less expensive than home. We've never shopped the exact savings.
