I've been using it in navy grogs along with an aged column still rum, and Appleton signature, with good results. I love Skipper in the Navy Grog. I've also started using it in my Kohala-sub blend after reading around a bit. Some people compare surviving samples of Dagger to the heavy British demeraras, Wood's 100 in particular, and I've heard some people who have access to both say they actually prefer Skipper to Wood's. I can't say if my blend is actually any closer to what Dagger/Kohala tasted like, but it's quite nice in Black Magics and Rum Barrels.
