I agree with the Appleton VX . . . I always use that and it's always under$20 for 750ml. However, there are NO Martinique rums available in my immediate area unless I 'special order' it from Crown Liquors about 15 miles away. Again, I was talking about nicking out to your neighborhood Liquor Store rather than purchasing online. With this in mind I have on occasion, coupled the Appleton VX with Meyers dark (both Jamaican) with very satisfactory results. Two Jamaican? Why not? TV only used one Jamaican for the original. And on others, Appleton with Cruzan - also satisfactory. I also agree with C&A that one could get away with just the Appleton VX, but I prefer the blending of a gold and a dark for theway they compliment each other. So, with the choices I've mentioned above, I can come in under $40 for the rums.
