St James rums - Tiki Drinks and Food

That is the ONLY Saint James they can get for me - the Extra Old isn't available. However, in every case in which I've checked on Saint James rums online, the Hors D'Age has always been more expensive. I don't know how old Hors D'Age is . . . it doesn't say on the bottle it only says "A blend of very old rums matured in small oak casks. Each rum lends it's own particular character to the blend, achieving the rich complexity characteristic of fine spirits" - As far as I'm concerned, that pretty much says it all. Because I'm such a 'Valued Customer' and usually buy 4 bottles at a time . . . they only charge me $30.99 a bottle for the Saint James (750ml) . . . and only $13.99 for the Appleton Estate VX (750ml) that I buy at the same time. And that's what goes in to my $100 Mai Tai! GH
