I would assume then, that future reproduction of the original recipe was doomed from the start - when the original J. Wray & Nephew rum no longer was available that then became the death-knell for the "Original Mai Tai" and only reasonable copies would prevail in the future. Tis a pity. Despite all the recipe investigations and analysis . . . we'll only just come 'close' to the original . . . but never actually attain it . . . unless you are willing to plop down $1500 plus shell out for a trip to Belfast! Again . . . tis a pity.
