Boy, am i sorry that i didn't know about this thread before i recently bought a bottle of this swill. Hey, it was an impulse buy at a liquor store, and it had "Trader Vics" on it! How bad could it be? Hoo boy, well...mix Robitussin with rum, to get an idea. Very disappointed that Trader Vics would let their good name get so tarnished.

I've felt that same sting before my friend. To the best of my knowledge, the only commercially sold TV-branded products still worth picking up are their mac nut and Kona coffee liqueurs, and their Royal Amber rum. If you find yourself actually in a Trader Vic's location though, see if you can get them to part with some of their in-house use only "concentrates", the navy grog concentrate in particular is supposed to be pretty good.

PalmtreePat,
I agree that the Mac Nut liqueur is pretty tasty. Everytime I pour a small amount for people to taste they like it. I'm not sure how its made, or what's in it....but, it is pretty tasty.
