Though it is related in one very important way: John Wray and his nephew produced their own rums in the 1800s and in 1916, purchased the Appleton rum estate. Eventually they phased out their own branded rums (except for the overproof) and focused on Appleton Rums. So, for a close to Authentic Mai Tai, try some Appleton Estate Extra. Mmmm... that's the stuff.
