Why Go

ILTT on Grounddove Road is the duty-free shop that spirits enthusiasts seek out specifically. While Front Street stores carry standard premium bottles, ILTT stocks rare and hard-to-find selections — limited-release whiskies, aged rums, boutique gins, and premium cognacs that collectors and connoisseurs want but cannot find at generic duty-free shops. The cigar selection matches the spirit quality, with hand-rolled options from recognized producers.

The Experience

The store is organized by category across a comprehensive spirits inventory: whiskies (single malt, blended, bourbon, rye), rums (Caribbean and international, aged and premium), vodkas, gins, tequilas, cognacs, liqueurs, champagnes, wines, and beers. The distinguishing factor is the depth of each category — where typical duty-free shops stock the top 10 brands, ILTT goes deeper into limited editions, rare vintages, and small-batch productions. Cigars and tobacco products are stocked with similar attention to quality. The Grounddove Road location is not on the tourist walk, which is part of the appeal — this is a destination shop for buyers who know what they want.

What to Try

Ask about limited-release whiskies and aged rums — these are the categories where ILTT's selection most distinguishes itself from Front Street competition. If you collect spirits, communicate what you are looking for; the staff tracks their inventory of rare bottles. Cigar buyers will find quality options beyond the standard tourist-shop brands.

Insider Tip

This is not a walk-by shop — you need to drive here, which filters the clientele to serious buyers. The pricing on rare bottles is competitive because duty-free savings stack on top of already competitive wholesale pricing. If you are buying in volume (allowed quantities), the savings compound. Compare rare bottle pricing with home-country retail before buying.
