I assume it is the ED white 151 in question, which makes it at least a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

Cruzan is my standby 151 when I am looking for an octane bump but not the intense flavor of Lemon Hart or even Gosling's 151. In particular, I go through a good bit of Cruzan 151 when I make Watermelon Rumrunners on summer holiday weekends.

On its own Cruzan 151 is of course no great shakes, but it is substantially better than Bacardi. I have not tasted the ED 151 on its own, but I have been served a high-test rum punch that used it as a combination rum and it worked. I doubt it has the kind of distinct character as J Wray which I am quite fond of.
