Wow!! Just amazing. It immediately became one of my favorites. Not even sure if I want to try the Grog Log version. The problem though is that I can't get Kohala Bay here in California, as far as I can tell. I'm not even seeing Smith and Cross at Hi Time's website. I used a 3:1 Coruba to El Dorado 12 for this version and it certainly wasn't bad or anything - it was delicious. But I'm not sure if that's getting the flavor profile right or if there's a better alternative. You'd have to have Kohala shipped to California, but it can be had: http://www.sunsetcorners.com/browse.cfm/kohala-bay-rum-1.75/4,8627.html RE Smith & Cross: http://www.hitimewine.net/SMITH-and-CROSS-JAMAICA-RUM-750.html
