Mahalo to everyone here on TC who posted suggested blends over on the Kohala Bay thread: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=45641&forum=10&start=120 Results of the great Kohala Bay taste-off are now up on the blog in an enhanced section of the long-running "Rums of The Mai-Kai" page ... http://www.slammie.com/atomicgrog/blog/2012/05/08/rums-of-the-mai-kai-legendary-lemon-hart-returns-to-the-promised-land/#kohala-bay-substitutes The results are broken down into four tiers, with three making the top tier as the most worthy substitutes. All three were extremely close in funky flavor and fiery heat, but one blend emerged as my favorite ... Our old standby recommendation of equal parts Smith & Cross and El Dorado 12 continues to lead the pack, topping some stiff competition from some creative blends. You can find the full recap and analysis of the tastings, plus a list of all 14 blends here: http://www.slammie.com/atomicgrog/blog/2012/05/08/rums-of-the-mai-kai-legendary-lemon-hart-returns-to-the-promised-land/#kohala-bay-substitutes Okole maluna!
