03History
Part of Don the Beachcomber's post-war aviation family (Jet, Test, Q.B. Cooler) — each a rum-stack with a different spice accent.
The cinnamon-falernum pair is the signature: warmth where the Mai Tai has mint.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
