Signature Blend is the new VX. Supposed to be the same formula. Strange that the price would be lower after pouring so much money into their new identity. Would be nice if they dropped it on the 12 and 21 year as well. At this store it was $18.99 or so and I see the VX at $20 usually. Could just be this store. That was my guess. I hate that crap. Cruzan was changing their labels every month for a while. I had to guess by color if it was the same rum I used to get. They still do not use the terms "dark","gold", etc. anymore. So now what will "Extra" be? That's what I was out to buy...
