Greetings Tiki Centeral;

I've been stocking up and getting my friends nice and intoxicated on delicious tiki, and now that my Flor de Cana is running low, I'm planning on picking up some aged rum. My choices are somewhat limited by selection (Mass and New Hampshire).

As best as I can tell, there is no martinique rum available anywhere I shop. For the aged rum, I'm looking at the following, and I feel I can only get one bottle from this selection (Price for a 750ml):

Angostura 1919 - $26
Appleton Est VX - $18
Appleton Extra - $33

I feel like the extra's a bit expensive, though I'm willing to splurge a bit this time of year.

Any suggestions on which to go with, as well as a substitute for martinique, are very much appreciated.

Peace.
