When I questioned the guy behind the counter he told me it wasnt them but Cruzan figured if Bacardi was getting those prices so should they. Anyone else hear of this happening??? My friends will be drinkin Conch Republic Dark tomarrow night... The Single Barrel didn't go up but they are changing the bottle he told me. About the Conch, I figure it has to be some blend of Cruzan, when I lived on St. Croix they were the only distiller in the USVI and I figure they make "Old Mill Rum" too.

The Cruzan Estate Dark is running $11.99/750ml and $17.99/1.75L which is about a $2 rise in price. Bacardi Gold is still more expensive.
