It basically has nothing in common with the original rums Vic used for his concoctions. Back in the mid-90s, Trader Joe's had a brief period where they were selling off back stock of Trader Vic's MAI TAI RUM Blend -not the vintage type, but also not this stuff- now that was goood, flavorful liquor. Bought it regularly, and used it up, thought it would last forever...have not seen a bottle of that since. [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2008-09-08 07:48 ]
