Mount Gay is so much easier to find. And if you do substitute Mount Gay, what particular Jamaicans do you match with the Barbados? I've tried the standard Mount Gay with Myers. The result was fair, especially when fortified with orange and pineaple juice, 1 ounce of each. Yeh, yeh, I know... I've tried the Mount Gay Sugar Cane rum, which works extremely well in a Shark's Tooth, but it gave me a foul start in the Mai Tai. Any help?
