Well, I'm out of 151 Demerara, and it's not sold anywhere near Cincinnati. Most of the traditional internet retailers that I used to rely upon either no loner ship outside of California, or will not ship 151 proof spirits. I need a sub for Demerara 151 that I can obtain on a regular basis, and I'm hoping for a few recommendations.

I can purchase Gosling's Black Seal, Cruzan & Bacardi 151 plus Stroh 160 locally. I made a round of Jet Pilots tonight with the Stroh 160, which I had an unopened bottle of on hand, and it was vile. It absolutely ruined our cocktails. I wouldn't use Stroh for anything besides flaming a drink. I suspect that the Gosling Black Seal 151 is going to be the closest of the four to the Demerara 151-has anyone tried it? Any better suggestions??

BTW, the only Demerara rum that I can buy locally at all is El Dorado 15, which is sold here at the ridiculous price of $47. I have to order demerara online, period. Such is the misery of life in the Midwest......

Cheers,

Craig
