Unfortunately, Coruba never panned out, so they've been pouring Appleton Reserve while they wait out the great Kohala Bay outage. It's definitely a higher quality rum than the earlier substitutes and works fine in some drinks. But you may notice the lack of funk in the Black Magic and some others. I had no complaints with the Zombie, however.

Meanwhile, the new Lemon Hart 151 is starting to appear on store shelves (in Austin and the Florida Panhandle) ... http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=51252&forum=10&start=45

The Mai-Kai plans to reach out to the distributor, so it may not be long before we find out whether we see another return of the venerable 151 Demerara rum.
