they even opened up luggage and searched.

So much for trying to "hide" the liquor in your suitcase. I am with Cindy though, wouldn't want to begin my vacation with stinking sticky clothes.

Hopefully mac can be more specific, but if the only liquor above the exemption were the vodka and whiskey listed above, then figure "about" $9.66/bottle?

Also curious if the duty free exemption on liquor would apply to minors, IOW, could each minor bring in 1 L. of distilled beverages?

I think the only way of getting a definitive answer would be to contact the Aruban Embassy.
