What do you guys that don't like Smith & Cross think of the Lost Spirits Navy style rums? I find them similar.

I agree, a very similar taste profile.

I think with a more refined palette you can discern the differences. Clearly they aren't the same drink. You'll get there eventually, sir!

Well judging from your first post here on TC, made just a few months ago

Hi all,

I'm trying to buff up my rum collection and make a few decent tiki drinks. I'm having a hell of a time understanding rums (dark, light, etc), and I also have a relatively poor selection in my area.

I have the following rums:
Captain
Pusser's
Gosling Black Seal
Malibu
Captain White
Appleton V/X
Flor de Cana

Misc:
Cointreau
Orange curaçao
Blue curaçao
Grenadine
Coconut cream
Orgeat

I really want to make a dang mai tai. Would any combo of the above rums be good? I read Gosling and the Appleton V/X may be nice. But I don't understand the selection. The Appleton looks dark, but it's light? What makes it light and dark? What are some good tiki rums that are accessible to is who live in the backwoods of the south? :)

Thank you all

You clearly have gone from knowing nothing about Tiki cocktails (especially the history behind the origins of said cocktails)
to showing an unearned arrogance towards many here who have spent years accumulating that knowledge, all this in just a few short months, interesting....
