I have seen some versions of this which had 1 oz of trinidad, 1 oz of jamaica, and 1 oz of demerara rum. I bet you could just pour 3oz of Plantation O.F.T.D. and call it a day. My understanding is that being able to swap O.F.T.D. in for a more complex pour of 3 different rums was part of the goal of it.

Allspice Dram / Pimento Dram 14 Fl. Oz.
Aged Jamaican Rum 1 Fl. Oz. Smuggler's Cove category 1, pot still lightly aged overproof. I went aged Jamaican leaning towards Smith and Cross, but could also be interpreted to mean 126 proof unaged Jamaican rum.
