I'm glad to see the trusted ED/S&C blend reigns supreme among all the others tested. It's simple and effective. I've decided to go ahead and enjoy my last few ounces of kohala bay. There's just no sense in preserving it for posterity. Rum is meant to be enjoyed. Not left in a cabinet to evaporate. Here's some money logic for you though. A 1.75L jug of Kohala Bay costed what, $30? It's the fluid equivalent of two standard fifths plus about 9 ounces. Essentially I could take a bottle of El Dorado 12 (about $25 when on sale) and a bottle of Smith & Cross (always $30) and dump them into my soon to be empty handle of kohala bay. This will give me a mostly full bottle of the best kohala bay sub. At a cost of $55!!! That's rough when you put it in perspective. Kohala bay was a work horse and a tremendous value.

I assume there's no regulation on how much rum you can bring back from Jamaica. And would guess this mystery product eluded to above is relatively inexpensive. Some Floridian (Frank?) oughta take a cheap party cruise down there and bring a few cases back to the states to dole out to the rest of us!
