Hang on to that bottle, I think it's 80-something proof, right? I think it's hard (and good) to find, so it's only a matter of time before you will need it. You can also taste it to begin learning about various rum flavor profiles. As a new person to tiki drinks, you've got a great find there. And it's good that you're asking about it here. I'm sure others will chime in here and post more info. Right now, off the top of my head, I can't think of what cocktails I'd recommend. I recall that Swanky and Hurricane Hayward have posted things about diluting the 151 down to the 80+ proof rum, and in their posts they may have also mentioned specific cocktails for which they did this. Go do a search on The Atomic Grog and see what you find there.

Have fun with it, and keep checking those obscure out-of-the-way liquor stores! That's how I've run into some surprising finds.

Oh, one more thing, build out your bar NOW -- you're gonna need double the space you presently have to store bottles, hahaha...
