how much alcohol can I bring INTO Colombia?

My wife and I are bringing gifts for friends, and wanted to take two 1.5 liter bottles of bourbon and one bottle of wine.

What is the limit per person for bring this into the country?

thanks

according to my handbook colombia You are allowed to bring in 200 cigarettes, or 50 cigars, and 2 bottles of wine or liqor per person.

But I'm not sure they actually care.

Poor but snappy

I was told 5 bottles. Last trip, 1 1/2 months ago, I was told by duty free in Panama that you are allowed five bottles and I brought in five.
I think it is easier if they are in a duty free box.

size my father made a bunch of trips to colombia
back in 1963, 1964 and 1965.

he said that he was allowed to bring 2 bottles when he came.
he did not like scotch (which was easily bought in colombia)
there was no size limit.

BTW, I did purchase a bottle of Jack Daniels in carrefour.

So buy the biggest bottles you can find!

Last year I took a total of 8 bottles (750ml) of rum from Guatemala. Including Ron Zacapa Centenario(the best and only rum in the Rumfest hall of fame) as gifts for my friends and they love them. I wasn't even asked about the bottles at all. To the USA is only three liters, but you can pay two dollars extra for each additional bottle. Not bad!!!
