It's funny: for ages that was EXACTLY my go-to mai tai recipe (Appleton Estate Extra 12 year with El Dorado 12 year, as well as the Senior curacao) but I think using Smith & Cross with Appleton Estate, coupled with Pierre Ferrand curacao, permanently broke my tasting brain - now I don't enjoy that combo anywhere near as much. I've really come to love a tart, dry mai tai with the astringency of the Smith & Cross poking through.
