Okay. Whipped up a couple of mai tais this evening. I had literally 2 oz. of Appleton's Estate left, so I went 50/50 Appleton's and St. James Extra Old. My wife took one sip and said "Oooh... something's off." I had to agree. The Martinique rum gives the mai tai a strange, ashy flavor. Maybe Hors d'Age doesn't have this problem.

Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison of the Extra Old and Hors d'Age?
