Apparently its the only rum in their lineup worth drinking (so of course its also the one with the sparsest distribution). I'd second that. The Royal Amber is a very good Mai Tai rum, tho' not a sipper, and makes a really superior Mai Tai. Until the quality control went out the window at many Trader Vic's, it is the rum they are supposed to use for a TV Mai Tai. Get the Royal Amber if you can find it, but to the best of my knowledge, it is available at fewer than a dozen retail locations nationwide. As for the rest of the Trader Vic's rums, sadly, they are a total waste. [ Edited by: Dr. Coruba 2018-08-23 09:37 ]
