Cuban rum near Quito?

Hey yall, Im going to Quito next week, and want to bring home some genuine cuban rum for some family.

1- I real cuban rum, like havana club, available in quito?

2- Any reputable shops you'd recommend I go to get it? I know there is a LCDH in Quito, but it's kinda far from me, and I have a tight schedule. If time allows, I'll try there. Is it easy to find in regular liquor stores? Any local alcohols y'all would recommend? I plan on getting a few bottles of aguardiente too!

I know, I know, customs will probably take it, but i'm willing to try to get some back. Thanks!

There’s some variety of liquors on Megamaxi which is the equivalent to Walmart. I also recommend LaGuarda which is a high grade liquor store.

Keep in mind that some brands can be kinda pricey on Ecuador.

100% Megamaxi, you'll find anything there. Try to go to a Megamaxi placed in the north of the city, they have more variety.
