I need almost clean alcohol. A strong as possible. Preferably 190-proof (95% ABV). But anything above 150-proof (75% ABV) would do. Something like that http://www.theliquorbarn.com/grain-alcohol/ It is for making tinctures. The alcohol should be good to drink. Locals cannot help. They said that they have never seen it. Maybe I ask wrong people.
Any advises?

PS: I may need help to drink it

Dv8, Brugal is no good for my task. It has flavor already. 

Bob Boyd, that's much better. But I don't know what Playero is. Could you elaborate?

I was out searching a few years back for alcohol 90° proof ( as we call it back home )........ and never found any. The closest I found was 75 or 80, in pharmacies.

Muaser,
Playero is a supermarket in Sosua, north coast. There is also a Playero en Juan Dolio (I don't know if they are connected).

Garyexpat, thanks! I'm in La Romana. A little bit far from the North. But I get the idea what to look for.

malko, yes, I was looking at the pharmacies, too. I'm just not sure what other 25-20% in there, you know :)

Mainly water, i guess.
I was hard pressed to find alcohol w/o an added " taste" , so people cannot drink it, i guess.....

Have you tried Everclear alcohol? I think it's 190 proof. If not, just find someone that makes their own corn liquor. Plenty of people do it in DR.

Is that the gut rot that they call "Clarin"? [not sure of spelling!]

Clarin is "tapa azul" I understand, just the cheapest white rum there is, 350 CC. at 100 pesos, 35 * alcohol.

:D That's the next step. I'm planning a nice big vintage copper distiller 

ExDR, everclear is exactly what I try to find. I just don't know where to buy it in DR
