We've tasted a lot of rums in Mai Tais and the best - as in closest to the Trader's mindblowing original - feature; Silver Seal 28 year old Demerara - bottled in Scotland Appleton 21 Year old Pussers is very good - preferrably the higher proof original blend Nothing hits the spot like the 17 year old though. The rich pot still flavours and high proof are essential for a great MT
