Gosling's 151?

[amethiste]

So I bought a bottle of Gosling's to make jerk marinade and perhaps some dark n stormy's. 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?

On a trip to Bermuda I went to the Gosling store and wanted to buy a bottle of regular and a bottle of 151. 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. Enjoy

bought a bottle by mistake and after 3 D&S's i was sloshed. i kept going with two more before i realized my mistake, but by then i didn't really care.

Wow, I think I will stick to one D & S. I used Reed's Ginger Beer but I think I need to get hold of another kind. I felt that the drink was a little too citrusy.

You can follow Jeffrey Morgenthaler's instructions to make your own ginger beer:

Bundaberg Ginger Beer is one of my favorite commercial examples, I have not made a dark and stormy with it yet though.

I tried Goya Ginger Beer after reading the responses to the D & S recipe on chow. I like the Goya much better. It burns going down though.
