I'd like to get this figured out before I update any more recipes. My initial thought is that it has a good chance of cracking the top three: http://www.slammie.com/atomicgrog/blog/2012/05/08/rums-of-the-mai-kai-legendary-lemon-hart-returns-to-the-promised-land/#kohala-bay-substitutes If anyone has access to these, I'd like to invite you to join me in figuring out the best proportion. I started with 3 parts of the 80 proof and 1 part of the 138 proof. But this is around 94-proof, which is closer to Dagger's 97 than it is to the 87.6 of Kohala Bay. It would need to be a 6:1 mix for that, which might not be as punchy, and definitely less dark. Let me know if anyone does any experimenting. Can't get either of those in Atlanta. How about mailing a couple this way?
