Another liquor discover.. El Dorado Demarara 5 year in Hollywood, FL!

UPDATE 8-23-06: The great retro canvas sign that says Daddy-O's Liquors has been taken down. Spelling of the store's name has changed as well.
Its a wee slip of a liquor store. Hidden in the back of the store was El Dorado Demarara 5 year for $14.99, among more recently aged versions of Eldorado white, gold and dark.
Location:
Dadios Liquors
5723 Hollywood Blvd. Bay-5
Hollywood, FL 33021
phone (954)965-2604

I honestly think that this store was recently sold to new owners. Two guys were building new shelves for wine in the back when I came in. The older fellow behind the counter knew nothing about rum, but sure thinks he does. Once he said all rum was the same, I turned a deaf ear.

Also, I was WAY overcharged for the bottle of Ron Viejo de Caldas3 year (Colombian) that I bought. Paid $11.98 when it was $7.99 at Crown Wine & Spirits. :x Doh!

Aside from that, he did have some brands I've never seen, such Fernandes and Old Oak Trinindad. He had Ron Diplomatico (pricey at $33.99, when Crown had it for $30), Pyrat Planters XO, and Mt. Gay Extra Old.
At least its El Dorado that much closer to home than the keys.

Location 2:
Crown Wine & Liquors
3500 N Federal Hwy
Boca Raton, FL 33431
(561) 392-6366

I didn't realize my luck at the time. They keep St. James Amber in stock.
They also have a version of Pyrat and some other nice aged rums that have become easier to find in these parts.

EDITED to new information, like new spelling of store names.
