The supply having been interrupted, I can see why the decision makers at the distillery are weighing whether or not to put it back into production. With only one spot accounting for 98 to 99% of its sales I guess it has been coasting for a long time. Horribly biased, like most of us Tikiphiles, I'd like to see it return with an effort to widen the distribution. Without any special promotion, it would be just another dark rum competing for shelf space. Perhaps if it had its own website and got some exposure at next year's rum events, it could pick up some notoriety. Given its unique flavor profile, I think it would fare well in competition and would have a lot of Tiki bars and craft cocktail bars wanting it.
