Rum prices here usually beat Grenada supermarket shelves
Duty Free Liquor Shop at Maurice Bishop International Airport sits airside in the small departures area, just past security and before the single main gate cluster. It’s a basic walk-through-style liquor store focused on local and regional spirits rather than souvenirs. Shelves lean heavily toward Grenadian and Caribbean rums, plus a few standard international whisky and vodka labels. Stock can shift from month to month, so don’t bank on a specific brand, but you’ll almost always find at least one locally produced rum on offer.
Hours track the day’s departures, generally opening about 2 hours before the first outbound flight and closing once the last evening departure boards. That means it may be shut if you’re extremely early or hanging around after a delay. Prices are duty free in USD, with many mid-range rums landing in the US$10–25 bracket for 750 ml. Premium bottles and special editions creep up toward US$40–60. Payment works in US dollars or EC dollars, and some cards may run a manual slip instead of a chip terminal when the system acts up.
Don’t expect tastings, cocktails, or detailed product notes; this is a grab-and-go stop for bottles and the occasional carton of cigarettes. Selection leans more toward rum than wine, and beer is limited or absent, so plan accordingly. If you want a specific aged rum, scan the top shelves first, as the better stuff often sits above eye level. Tip: snap a quick photo of your purchase receipts, since handwritten slips can smudge before you hit customs on arrival back home.
