For celebration of an ultra "Special Occasion" I make myself a Mai Tai with one ounce each of Appleton Estates 21 year old & St. James Hors D'Age - yes, I still find the St. James necessary to pair with the 21 year old Appleton and for me, the marriage is exquisite.

I bought some El Dorado 15 year-old once and thought it made a fine mai tai. But I haven't compared it directly with the Appleton Estates Extra.

Unfortunately, I haven't come across a bottle of St. James Hors D'Age. The enormous liquor store I frequent didn't have it in stock last time I checked. The Extra Old apparently is not an adequate substitute.
