St. Bart's-- how can I get La Pinta vanilla rum?

I brought two bottles of this amazing rum home from the islands a few years back. Nearly gone now and I won't be going back to St. Bart's. I have searched the Internet for a source with no luck. Have heard that it's possible to have it shipped to the States as "syrup" rather than booze without problem since the alcohol content is quite low.

Anyone on St. Bart's with some helpful knowledge?

Thanks

Thanks, Virginia. I can't get the La Pinta section to come up on my IPad, but I've sent an email. We'll see what happens. Appreciate your reply.

Have you had any luck shipping La Punta to the US? If so can you share how you got to them?

David, there are a couple of recipes on-line for making your own. I haven't tried them yet.

OR

2 Parts Sugar Cane Syrup (or simple syrup)
1 Part vanilla Extract
5 Parts Mount Gay Rum
2 parts Myers Rum

Good luck. Report back if you make some.
