Great buy and added to the index!
This rum gets very good reviews on a few online blogs that come up as popular in a gpogle search.
On the topic of PR rums and Carribean drinks in general: a Carribean rum primer:
FARE OF THE COUNTRY; FROM SUN AND SUGAR AN ISLAND BREW [NYT]
It is the only kind of spirits worth bringing back from Puerto Rico because prices there are comparable to the mainland.
Travelers returning from St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands are offered an additional incentive. The duty-free spirits allowance is six fifths instead of the usual five permitted from the the other United States Virgin Islands provided one of the bottles contains Virgin Islands rum. From the other Caribbean islands the limit is one liter. There may even be some interesting rums to buy that are not exported, such as El Dorado, one of the finest Puerto Rican aged rums.
