Do you use only one or the other, or have you tried blending the two together? I was underwhelmed by blending them, actually - it was like something got lost in the translation. However, one seriously tasty HBR blend is 0.75 oz. each of Hamilton 86 and 151 Demerara. It's a combo that holds its own against the heavier ice cream recipe, since the Hamilton is so full bodied (not sure how well it would work with the Smuggler's Cove recipe). Only problem I have is that I always seem to be out of one of them...I should probably bite the bullet and buy a couple of bottles to make my own blend to set aside strictly for that purpose.
