Yay! I love the 1st one but it was definitely its own thing compared to the royal navy rum. Can’t wait to try this one! Also very excited to read the book, which is on order.

If you're ever on the island, go visit them. They're lovely people, and they're helping keep a Hawaiian tradition alive.
As for taste, the Okolehao actually reminded me of a single malt whisky more than anything else. Super interesting. We brought a bottle back -- they don't ship off-island.

I’ve been having better luck with rubbing alcohol for getting label glue off.

The Recipe:
1 oz lime juice
2 oz Bacardí 1909 rum
2 heaping teaspoons caster sugar
Shake everything vigorously with a mix of crushed ice and cubes. Strain through a sieve into a cocktail glass. I love a Nick & Nora.
In about five minutes, make another one. Sip the second one slowly. Smile.

It’s history in a bottle. It comes in a very fancy wooden box. And it has a lovely pamphlet included with a nice history of the daiquiri.
According to the pamphlet the daiquiri was created by a US mining engineer working in Cuba.
The cocktail is simple. It’s delicious.

I like Bacardí. Even the regular Superior, while a bit bland, makes a decent daiquiri. You’re of course better off using the Matusalem Platino or, if you’re lucky enough to live outside the US, Havana Club.
But this stuff is different.
Distilled at Bacardí’s Mexico distillery, 44.5% ABV.

Wasn’t the original Wray & nephew 15 year Mai Tai rum that Vic used also a liqueur rum?

This one really benefits from a nice Spanish style rum. The spices mesh well and the scent of the orange oil in the peel really sets it off.
I used Kirkland Signature 12 year old Panama rum which works great. I’d love to try some Havana Club añejo in this but I’m out.
