You can buy it different places there, but duty free is for when you are leaving a place, not entering. You could get some on your way down from the duty free at your own airport (if it is open, ours tends to still be closed when we leave early in the day)

Kandy, buy the duty free at the airport before you leave for Hedo you cannot buy duty free in MBJ for use in the country. You are allowed to bring in alcohol although I am not sure how much on the JA Government site it says -
Tobacco and some potable articles including wines and spirits in the baggage or on the person which they might reasonably be expected to carry with them for personal use, in such quantities as the Commissioner may from time to time approve.
I am sure a couple of bottles for each person should not be a problem, we have friends that bring wine with them all of the time. I expect that others will respond to your question as well.
Next trip Dec 15 - 21 2019

Rule #1) Never argue with an idiot. They pull you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
We brought with us 5 bottles of alcohol the first time.... waste of time and effort...there is so much alcohol there and we spent all of our time by the nude pool bar!!!

We put it in our checked luggage when we go crusing as they don't allow any to be brought on board. We buy plastic bottles wrap them in plastic wrap first then double bag it in ziploc bags just in case they split. No leakers yet and we have done it many times. GOOD LUCK
I brouhgt a bottle of grey goose for the wife and a BIG BOTTLE OF YAGER for me and friends. Bubble wrap is cheap cheap cheap

Kandy,
There are a couple of places you can buy it in Montego Bay - both of them have great selections of liquor & wine, one even has an online market that you can do the transactions ahead of time & just pick up what you want on the way to Negril. You have to drive past these stores anyway on the road to Negril.
The one with the online store is Caribbean Producers Market, http://www.cpjmarket.com/, the other one is MegaMart: both are within 2 minutes of each other.
You may pay a little more than what you are used to at home, but it will save you the hassle of lugging liquor around, especially if you are trying to travel light and are worried about breaking bottles. On one trip home, I opened my suitcase to find it reeking of rum - apparently a case had broken all over my bag and soaked in (I tried to suck the clothes dry, but.....).
If you need help with a contact at the Caribbean Producers place, send me a PM & I will give you the Manager's contact info.
We often bring a couple/few bottles down. Either tequila and/or wine. Just pack it safely in your checked bags and then you have room to bring rum cream back home with you
