Wow, a lot of you guys have been busy! I admire the tinkering. I may need to update my suggested substitutions, but have not had time to try any of your blends. And, sadly, I've still not been able to find Hamilton Black Pot Still in South Florida. Jokeiii, where do you get it?

Congrats to Quince_at_Dannys, lll888, Scaramouch, jokeiii and CincyTikiCraig for all their fine work. I'll be trying some of those out when I get a chance.

My new suggestion is a blend using the new Plantation Dark, which is heavy on the Jamaican funk. Has anyone paired this with OFTD? A 3:1 blend would yield something around 94 proof, which is close to Dagger's 97. To get it down to Kohala Bay level, it would need to be a 6:1 mix. This might not be dark or punchy enough.

Let me know if anyone tries this, or any other blends with OFTD. I think this may be the way to go rather than using a 151 Demerara to bring up the proof.

Okole maluna!
