It was discontinued because Trader Vic found another supplier. The Appleton Estate does have all the Blending info still stored away and could reproduce the same rum again, although you would have to wait 17 years. The other problem is they also only produce blends for people under very special circumstances, Chris Blackwell founder of Island Records and owner of some of the finest Houses(Goldeneye) on Jamaica is one.
