Duty free in CTG?

Is there a duty free in CTG or should I buy my alcohol elsewhere before rolling out? Any recommendations? I'm looking at picking up some decent local booze.

By locally at a market unless you are buying a non-Colombian beverage like Johnny Walker, or Jack Daniels.

I recall in Aruba they had some pretty unique stuff at the "Dufry" shop in the airport from over the Caribbean. I take it it's not the same selection here?

There is a duty free shop in CTG. However, you cannot get to it until you get to the boarding area. Thus you cannot use that store on the way in.

Any idea what the selection is like?

I don't drink, but it seems like a saw a lot of different kinds of booze.

It was a pretty poor selection. The Dufry in Aruba was far superior. Ended up getting some Ron Medellin and Aguardiente out in town.
