That'll cost between $15 and $20. I'd recommend a less expensive Martinique rum for the Rhum St. James Hors d'Age. Rhum St. James has a few less expensive offerings (that I've yet to try) that would come in at your price range. I've not tried other brands, so can't make any recommendations there either. A thread on different Martinique rums could be fun and interesting. Anyway, try checking out the good folks at Hi Time Wine Cellars if you can't find it anywhere else. I know they've got them, should be available through the website.
