This morning, while making the marinade, i noticed the bottle is 151. Has anyone tried this? Is there any difference besides the octane? What would you use it for?

The store clerk asked if I had ever had their 151. I said that I had not. He then refused to sell me the 151. I said I'm 48 years old, what do you want, a note from my mother? Use the rum in marinade and mixed drinks like the ZOMBIE. Do not drink it straight Goslings has the classic rum cake flavor that I remember from childhood. Soak pineapple in Goslings for a day before grilling. Great for bananas Foster too.

I felt that the drink was a little too citrusy.

I like the Goya much better. It burns going down though. Thu Jun 25 18:23:45 -0700 2009 4803710 86005 amethiste
