On Facebook, Beachbum Berry opined: "Jim Hayward untangles the Gordian knot of classic Tiki rum substitutions."

The guide to Demerara rums is updated to include a full history of Lemon Hart and its use at The Mai-Kai, plus the story of the 21st century renaissance of 151 rums.

Next, the Jamaican rum section is updated to include more background on the style and its history at The Mai-Kai.

Then, I spill the beans that The Mai-Kai has actually replaced Kohala Bay with Appleton Estate Signature Blend after briefly using Reserve Blend. As it turns out, the difference in flavor is negligible in most drinks.

Then, more history including an update showing that Appleton Punch preceded Dagger Punch up until the 1970s. Finally, a few new discoveries, including one Jamaican rum that could easily pass as Kohala Bay’s long-lost brother.

Okole maluna!
