hmmm, interesting. I had a bit of bacardi 8 left and tried it with that, i 
think i liked that more. I also want to try barbancourt 8yr.

maybe ill alter my proportions a bit with the appleton and see how that goes. 
I was going by the recipe on wiki

    * 2 oz 17-year-old J. Wray Nephew Jamaican rum
    * 1/2 oz French Garnier Orgeat
    * 1/2 oz Holland DeKuyper Orange Curacao
    * 1/4 oz Rock Candy Syrup
    * juice from one fresh lime 

Shake with Ice, and then strain in

to me this recipe is a bit sweet and a bit heavy on the orgeat. I made about 4 
of them last night and ended up at something like...

2 oz appleton
1/4 oz orgeat
1/2 oz curacao
1/4 simple syrup
juice from a lime.

still seemed to lack a bit of the rum bite i was looking for though.

any thoughts?

thanks
B
