It is much like W&N overproof. You end up using it for it's high-octane rather than for flavor. In the Jet Pilot for example I adjust the rums to my taste as follows: 1 oz Dark Jamaican rum (I use Coruba) 1/2 oz El Dorado 12-year-old Demerara 1/2 oz Gold Barbados rum (I use Mount Gay) 1/2 oz Eldorado High Strength For me at least, this produces a mixed drink with a complexity to my liking and in some small measure makes up for not being ableto get Lemon Hart here in my part of FloriDUH.
