I arrived to the airport super early so decided to kill time browsing the rum inventory at Sunshine Liquors and comparing prices with those of the liquor mart smack in the center of the airport avenue. It was brutal moving around the small, hot, congested store with a carryon but worth the effort. Their prices are the best I’ve seen anywhere.
Twenty minutes later I leave with eleven bottles of some of best white and gold rum they had on the shelves. Four were overproof. The entire purchase was less than $70.
I had plenty of room in my carry-on so six went in there. The others were packed in one cardboard sunshine box and taped up good.
This was my first time bringing back more than 2 or 3 bottles. US Customs allows 2 bottles duty free. So I knew with this load I would be facing fees but didn’t know how much.
Having that box sitting next to me made leaving Jamaica less painful. Not MUCH less, just a little closer to bearable.
