Why did they stop stocking it? No matter how many people like the idea of it being sold in the store, Bevmo isn't likely to change their minds if those people weren't buying it often enough to make them any money.

A manager stated "due to slow sales", however the fact that bottles were always scarce or completely out of stock at multiple locations leads me to believe something else is going on. Another manager mentioned months ago (when Depaz Cane was out of stock) that Depaz Cane Syrup came boxed with bottles of Depaz's Blue Cane Agricole rum from the distributer. BevMo was essentially unboxing the bottles and selling them separately, which seemed odd to me. Maybe word of this practice got back to Depaz? Either way I'm not buying the "no one was purchasing Depaz Cane" explanation. In the past I'd visit 5 stores in a 30 mile radius to find bottles.
