Trader Vic's Mai Tai to me is the 'perfect' Mai Tai. All others are personal variations, nothing more. Nothing wrong with personal variations as long as one doesn't claim it to be the 'perfect' one. It's a matter of opinion. As far as the rum is concerned, we have no choice: the original 17 year old J. Wray & Nephew went out of production decades ago and we were left with the need to substitute rums we imagined wouldcome close to the flavor and body of the original single rum. For me it's Appleton Estate 12 year old coupled with St. James Martinique rum. Other people have their own favorites and I don't quibble with that. [ Edited by: GentleHangman 2013-09-04 16:48 ]
