Another take on bay rum by T+S! Their earlier "homage," for me, is their Maya, which has the whole cola-nut, cocoa/mole' spice thing going on, and is a very nice take on a traditional BR as well, but very different from the Caribbean variety. Indian Bay is along the lines of a traditional BR - very prominent citrus notes of lime and orange, with a strong bay background and a hint of allspice (but zero cloves, if you're a fan). If you're a clove-hater but enjoy a sweet bay rum, right up your alley. Their AS, typical T+S witch hazel and aloe-based, with a smidge of alcohol, is very nice as well - soothing and protective - and in the bay rum tradition will warm you up, but not too dramatically. Excellent performance, as always with T+S, a slick and protective lather which in this case seems thirstier than most - add a little more water when you think you have enough. An attractive label as well, apparently depicting the British Merchantman Samuel Walters, although difficult to tell, and the S. Walters was not actually on the Dutch East India Trading Company's clipper registry.
So another great soap and AS from T+S, but unfortunately another Limited Edition, which likely means it won't be permanent. It also only comes in the 3 oz "teaser" size, but is accordingly slightly less expensive than their standard 4 oz line (which they seem to continually be sold out of, also unfortunately). If you're any kind of bay rum fan (cloveless), you can't do much better. Not the cheapest products, but certainly not the most expensive, and well worth every penny IMO.
