Just looking at the bottles, why WOULD one wanna try them. To me, serious rum afficionados do not consider flavored rums as rum. Plus the fact that the new generation of Trader Vic's rums now available can only be considered a mistake, what good could could come from flavoring them? It really is a shame, a couple of years before these new ones came out, the grocery chain Trader Joe's had some of the earlier Trader Vic's rum brands on sale, and their "Mai Tai Rum" was really really nice.
