You can definitely use the Woods Navy Rum. I have a bottle of the Woods and the low and high octane Lemon Hart. I tend to use the Woods in Navy Grog's and a few other drinks where I want to kick up the drink a bit above the Lemon Hart low proof.

Taste wise, the Woods has a bit more of a burn to it - even when compared to the Lemon Hart 151. The Lemon Hart is a bit smoother (somewhat more refined) in taste. That being said, they're in the same ballpark. You could use the Woods in the Beachbum's zombie recipes and be close. It wouldn't taste exactly the same as using the Lemon Hart, but I'd do it.

I'm looking forward to passing through Heathrow again to pick up some more Woods.
