We are coming next month and hope to stop by the duty-free shop in Montego Bay enroute. Does anyone know the duty-free import limit on liquor to Bonaire?
Thanks, we'll toast all who advise.

Jamie, I think it's a bottle per person. In our two trips, we've not been asked and we mighta fudged with one extra bottle our last trip (well it was Tequila that we brought with us on the trip, we'd already exported and imported it once to US). We live near the border and can buy duty free if we take it out of the US and then return with it. Our choices for Jamaica duty free are coconut rum cream (great in coffee) and lemon rum (nuffin makes a Bright even better than filling the neck with a shot of ron limon......Enjoy

the cheeser

Thanks Joe,
We'll try the lemon rum in our Brights! Sounds Great.
Oh, and we BOTH will toast in your honor, as promised. Now, would that be considered a toasted cheese sandwich?

"toasted cheese sandwich"

Wow...that was funny. You sure you haven't already started tipping the bottle? ;)

Naw
but to steal a phrase, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy...

We bring 2 or 3 bottles each. We never get stopped coming into Bonaire, or on the way home into the states. Montego Bay has real cheap liquor - if you know your stuff (some liquor isn't cheaper). And the prices just went up on vodka. Bac. Limon is $13/ltr

If you are wine drinkers, Antillean Wine Company will deliver to your door in Bonaire. Great selection of Chilian and South African wines, under $10 US

I intend on bringing in some bottles..There is a white rum called White's and something and it's called Overproof..we had some (you drink straight up) at my friend's upon my arrival..I had a sip..it was TOXIC...haa..I think the prices are decent..

I mostly love getting spices, Ting and Jamaica goodies in the airport..

Oh my god - we picked up some of that overproof stuff (on the recommendation of one of the gate attendants in Montego Bay)... it's firewater! I'm not a big rum drinker unless it's mixed with something, so we still have most of that bottle - it didn't mix well with anything I could come up with, it had too strong (and to me unpalateable) flavor.

Susan, you are not supposed to mix it lovey..it's meant to drink straight up..I saw it once awhile ago on an inflight Air Jamaica show..haaa...They drink it in the rum shops..man, I miss rum shops..Antigua had some way cool ones.

So, straight up woman..it'll cure what ails ya..haaa

Also for the lightweight BT folks, NEVER forget Ting on those Air Ja flights..LOVELY grapefruit soda.

Ok, nuff secrets being passed along..
