$497.67... now that's just a ballpark figure! :) Seriously, the stuff is dirt cheap, my big ass bottle still has the $11.90 price tag on it. I'm gonna run some things by Ingrid (I always thought that was extremely odd name for a Jamaican) and see if she possibly knows of anyplace you can get it in the states and if not when she thinks she's gonna make it back to JA or possibly see if any of her brothers and sisters are heading back anytime soon. I've always noticed in the Jamaican/Caribbean community that they have sources for island staples outsiders wouldn't even think to look for - such as cans of ackee (the country's national fruit and key ingredient in their national dish - ackee and saltfish - the stuff is potentially lethal if it doesn't ripen properly and therefore semi-illegal here in the states) and my favorite Jamaican grapefruit soda Ting which I can buy by the case at one particularly pungent ethnic grocery store. Perhaps one of these stores keeps a stash of pimento liqueur behind a counter for those who ask? I'll keep those interested informed of any details!
