I just got a bottle of the stuff and it is GREAT! Super dark color, unique taste and smell, and smooth as hell. I'm with Tonnikan Jinn on this one. I was at the Trader Joe's by my house one day when I stumbled across it. Grabbed two bottles and promptly forgot to get everything else on my shopping list. When I tried it with my Mai Tai recipe... Ahhhhhhhh - a choir of angels sang. Absolutely perfect for Mai Tai's. The price is right too. I only saw the Mai Tai mix there, but I usually pick up all the TV mixes @ BevMo anyway.
