I bought both bottles for around $60. As mentioned before...these rums are the best for mai tais....I think I'll need to replenish my stock here soon :wink: I no longer recommend Spec's for St. James rums. Their prices are, oddly, $10-14 higher than other local liquor chains (While Spec's has bumped Hors d'Age to $46 per bottle, Twin Liquors and Chris' Liquors here in Austin are both selling it for around $32). Maybe Spec's has anticipated an upcoming shortage and have priced accordingly. Only time will tell. But, for now, go elsewhere for this particular brand.
