We've also carried lots of liquor in our checked luggage and (knock on wood) haven't had any breakage so far. Pack lots of clothing and/or bubble wrap (we come prepared) around it.

However, we just flew back from Mexico a couple of weeks ago and duty free purchases were allowed to be taken onto the flight. I'm not sure how it works other places, but in Mexico you made your purchases and they delivered all the duty free purchases to your flight as you were boarding. You picked them up as you went through security (since you had to go through security again as you were boarding).

Since they were delivered in clear plastic bags I would still be inclined to pack my Cuban rum in my checked luggage. It's also cheaper to buy it at a regular liquor store than a duty free (at least where we were).
