Gate-side in Terminal 3, this liquor shop is basically rum HQ
In Terminal 3 after security, Liquor Shop Terminal 3 leans hard into Cuba’s strength: shelves stacked with Havana Club in multiple ages and bottle sizes, plus a few export-only liqueurs. Expect prices roughly in line with downtown tourist shops, not crazy-cheap duty free. If you want a 7-year or 15-year bottle as a souvenir and don’t want to carry it from the city, this is the easy last stop.
Hours loosely track long-haul departures from Terminal 3, with the shop usually open for the big European and Canadian banks in the afternoon and late evening. Stock is very rum-heavy: travellers describe the “selection” as different Havana Club labels and not much beyond that. You might see a token shelf of vodka, gin, or whisky, but it’s limited and often more expensive than what you’d pay at MAD, CUN, or YYZ.
What regulars actually buy here: special-edition Havana Club packs and quirky Cuban liqueurs like guayaba or coffee versions that don’t always show up in Old Havana corner stores. Some gift boxes come with branded glasses or decorative tins clearly made for export markets, mentioned in Skytrax reviews as “only saw this at the airport.” Standard 3-year and 7-year rum is usually cheaper downtown, so frequent Cuba flyers bring that from the city instead.
Watch out for empty spots where specific ages or limited runs should be; out-of-stock 7-year or special editions pop up in multiple Tripadvisor and Reddit comments. If you care about non-rum spirits, check prices at home first and treat anything here as a backup option. Tip: if your flight leaves from a remote bus gate in T3, shop first, then walk over; coming back adds 10–15 minutes you may not have.
