I'll be rude and answer for Blair, since it seems he, myself, and matt 'rumdood' robald each separately came to the same conclusion using modern ingredients:

1oz Appleton 12-year 'extra' Jamaican Rum
1oz Rhum Clement VSOP

Those are the rums you'll get if you order a Mai Tai 'Tiki Kon' style at Thatch. (Come Wednesdays for the Craig & Blair show)

p.s. For fun and leisure, check out Matt's post on rum combos:

p.p.s It looks like rangda above shares our position on the matter. Mahalo!

Hi Craig, thanks for the info. I enjoyed those two rums in my first Mai Tai last night. The second drink had St. James Hors D'Age and then a half ounce each of Smith & Cross and Appleton Estate Reserve. Very spicy and delicious.

Thanks!
