Aloha,
I hope you don't mind but I thought I de-lurk here and jump in. (Been Luking a few weeks)
Call me Reg.
I have 3 bottles of Curacaos Hiram Walker,Leroux and Dekuper so I though I would do a quick taste test. (any excuse to try out my new shot glasses)
Here is what I found.

Hiram Walker:
15% or 30 Proof
Aroma: most natural orange scent
Flavor: Some what watered down tasting

Leroux
27% or 54 Proof
Aroma: more like a Brandy with a hint of fruit
Flavor: Smooth but you can just taste the alcohol

Dekuper
27% or 54 Proof
Aroma: Similar to Leroux more Brandy like
Flavor: Also Smooth with a hint of wood possibly Oak

I Prefer Leroux but Dekuper will also do. But Hiram Walker only as a last resort.
