You can't even take that stuff on an airplane. I was going to take some 151 on a flight in checked baggage and here is what I found:

Carrying Alcohol in Your Checked Baggage

Alcoholic Beverages

Please note, you can’t take alcoholic beverages with more than 70% alcohol content (140 proof), including 95% grain alcohol and 150 proof rum, in your checked luggage.

I found that out only a couple of weeks before i left here for the Hukilau back in June. I DID bring back three bottles of Lemon Hart 151 with me in my checked luggage however. As i can't buy it here i figured it was worth the risk of losing $100 if they did find it.
I think the chances of them opening your luggage to see exactly what alcohol you are carrying is pretty slim. I mean when your bags are scanned the labels are not going to show so all they see is bottles which you are entitled to carry so i doubt they'd bother inspecting it further.
