Recreating the Mai Tai has always been about getting as close to the W&N 17 year old. Your rum choice needs to be pot-still'y, sweet but quite dry and certainly high proof. The Silver Seal (28 yr) from Guyana is very similar to the JW&N 17 we have at our bar - I highly recommend you find a bottle, although it's not easy....... Italian company that won't export: UK based company that has just received 2 cases (not on the site yet though): The El Dorado Overproof makes an ok Mai Tai too, especially when mixed with some XM10 year old. Nothing is as good as the 17 though - sad but true |
