I don't think any of the products made by Trigo are currently available in the States. Robert Burr mentioned that their Reserva Aneja may be coming soon. They also produce Ron Canita Curao Alambique white which has a pronounced molasses flavor, as well as Ron Bocoy white and gold (which may have been discontinued). Another interesting product from them is their "Coquito" made with coconut milk.

Although exported they are still very hard to find in the US, are Don Q and Ron de Barrilito. Don q makes a wide range of products and Barrilito 3 stars is considered one of if not the best rums from PR. The duty free at the airport is the easiest way to grab them.

I am told by Manuel Benitez of the Rums of Puerto Rico that the Don Q Gran Anejo is now in Florida and that Trigo Reserva Aenja should be here any day.

Barrilito seems available most places, but the prices vary wildly, so with that one, it pays to shop around. I like it quite well, myself. It's elemental rum, in a classic style and flavor.
