Cost of Rum winge

Hello

I went to Cuba and brought a few bottles of havana club rum back in 2008. I've finally nearly finished the bottles and went to morrisons to buy one, it was like £20! i paid what worked out around £3-4 a bottle. How do they justify the extra cost? Can't cost that much to import it.

Rums ones of those drinks i drink without getting hangovers (i get them so easily!) so a little annoyed about the cost.

Is there any cheaper alternatives to havana rum with similar taste? I prefer the clear rum over the dark one. If not i know where my next holidays to

I'll get the aldi one and get some dark rum too for something differernt long time since i drank any so may now prefer that who knows! One of my friends reckons one called Kraken is really nice, Mt Gay is on offer in Tesco or Asda whichever i was in the other day

well went shopping earlier and there wasn't much choice inn ASDA for white / clear rum, basically their own brand or baccardi. Took a gamble and brought a bottle of mt Gay which was £15, bit early for drinking (i got back from the shop at like 9:20ish) so only had a quick taste and it tastes rather nice. Kraken was the only rum they had completely sold out off. Think my parents are away on holiday this year so will task them with getting a few different ones to see which i prefer.
