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? Hmmm..good to know that before I go out and spend money on Martinique rum.
