The number on my duty free bag is 501-225-3594 or europafreezone.com

Thanks. The website is no longer valid but I'll try the phone number today.

Unless you are really particular, they have most good brands. I'm not a Scotch drinker but my wife likes the Johnny Walker Double Black. I drink Canadian Club and it's there: my real estate friend drinks Jack Daniels and it's there also.. Many brands and very reasonable.
Happy Drinking... Remember if your right foot is in the water and your left foot is on the sand; you are headed North... ( Just in case)

Are the stores in the departure area duty free?

only the duty free store(s) - not the gift shops

There seems to be a bit of confusion here. Coming into Belize you use the Duty Free stores next to baggage claim and before Customs. The duty free stores at the departing gates are only for people returning to the USA (or other country). You are not allowed to buy from those stores if you are just there to take a local flight in country. You will have to show a ticket/boarding pass on an international departing flight to purchase there.

actually, My son was down there at the end of September and was able to buy duty free before jumping over the San Pedro. Might just be some of the stores go by the rules and other are more relaxed.....

Your son would have purchased in the arrivals duty free stores, not the International departures stores.

could very well be. I do know the guy who I purchased my place from told people he let use the place to buy their stuff duty free when they got there. I will find out when I come down in January...
