RE: alcohol suppliers
If im not mistaken a colmado is basically a bar. I am actually looking for the distributor who would supply the colmado with all of its boose at wholesale prices(yes if you havent guessed its a possibility we are opening a bar)

I do however appreciate your reply!

RE: alcohol suppliers
yeah, it was supposed to be light humor. Actually, I dont know if you would by the local stuff directly from Brugal and Presidente or through distributors. From my experience here, I would try to avoid the middlemen as they will screw you in every direction.

My guess is you can buy local brews directly. The bar in my hometown of Maimon does buy from the Colmados for their bar. Surprsingly, they are well stocked. The local one even has Johnnie Walker blue label.

RE: alcohol suppliers
Purchasing from Presidente and Brugal would be simple enough seeing as brugals based out of puerto plata, and presidente also has operations in puerto plata i believe. However getting other stuff such as smirnoof or grey goose vodka and jack daniels might be more difficult if you were to import it yourself.. but maybe that is the norm in DR. Thanks for the input!

Look up GouletColonial here on the boards. He used to be a wine importer in the Virgin Islands and I am sure he still has his pulse on who is who in the booze business. He is in Santo Domingo.
