The Royal Oak you can buy today is about as close as you are going to get to the old Siegert's Bouquet. The SB was a bit heavier as I recall. I only had a chance to have a couple of sips about ten years ago but thought that it was slightly heavier than the Royal Oak that I could drink at the time.

I haven't had any Royal Oak in some time but at $17 for 750ml I would definitely buy a bottle to try and go back for more if it was similar to what I used to drink in Trinidad.
