Hello, I am new here to this forum, and am glad I found it. I love Rum and bourbon. More rum though without a doubt. I am going to Guatemala in january for a month and am going to try to buy all the rum that I can while I am there that I can not find here in the states. Anyone been there and know of Rums that I should try to pick up. Thank you for any suggestions, and great forum.

It has been discussed often here, but you will want to pick up the 23-year-old Ron Zacapa Centenario, about $25 in Guatemala. Other than Guatemalan rums, I found in duty-free my favorite Barbancourt (Haitian) for just $6 a bottle. Quite a steal. But you will have to pack them carefully in check-in luggage if you plan on bringing back a bunch. I was able to carry my duty-free on the plane out of Guat., handed to me sealed at the gate -- but once we arrived in Miami for our connection we had to put it in our regular luggage. Luckily I only had four bottles.

If I had, as I considered, bought 20 bottles of Barbancourt, I would have been in a bind.
