Tax on alcohol in costa rica is relatively high, your best bet is the duty free stores in the airport, (both in arrival and departure areas). The different stores will have different selections at times.
If you are looking for wider rum varieties, both automercado, and then the supermarket in escazu that is opposite the shopping center where big dogs sports bar is seem to have the widest variety of rums.
Note that there are 20+ versions of flor de cana available which are considerably finer than the normal 4/6/10 year versions, and there is also the 100 usd version of Ron Zacapa which i love, and i would say is the best rum i have ever had.

Are there any "Liquor Stores" in town where I can find a good selection of fine Rums. Not talking about your basic Flor de Cana which I know you find at Mas o Menos but I'm looking for some of the more expensive more premier Rums. I was at Multiplaza yesterday and checked out the nice grocery store and they had for example Ron Zacapa 23 years priced at 28,000 colones which is well over $50 and I can buy the exact same Rum in the States for $40 so no deal there but I wasn't sure whether that market at Multiplaza is just generally overpriced. Any info appreciated. Thx.
