The Cuban is a potent piece, and I have a hard time drinking it straight (although I keep trying). If you have run out of Lemon Hart, this should be your first choice.

See, and this was a recent interest of mine. I actually found a place near my work that carries both proofs of their Navy Rum, but sadly not the Cuban 151. I don't think it would be a replacement for Lemon Hart 151 (I mean we all know it isn't but that's not the point) but I'm curious as to what a side-by-side taste comparison in a drink would taste like. My own personal plan is to try Gosling's 151 as a substitute.

Anyway, its interesting that you mention the opposite of what people are saying about their Polynesian-Inspired Rum. I guess time will tell. And that American-Colonial stuff is supposed to be a limited run (I think)and is like $100 a crack. For that price I'd probably aim for some Havana Club 15 instead.
