The Mai-Kai rum guide page is updated with the latest on Kohala Bay, which is to say it's still in limbo ...

I have, however, updated my recommended Kohala Bay substitutes ...

1 – Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaica Rum and El Dorado 12 Demerara rum (equal parts).

2 – Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaica Rum and Myers’s dark Jamaican rum and Gosling’s 151 rum (equal parts). (Mahalo to AdOrAdam for this blend)

3 – Coruba Original Jamaican rum.

4 – Denizen Merchant’s Reserve.

5 – (Tie) – Bacardi Black and Ron Carlos Black.

Not recommended: Myers’s or Blackwell.

See the full report and tasting notes:
