Sweet and oaky. The burn is not that strong. Here and there could be good.

With the exception of Hamilton 151, this is the standard.

Demerara comes through strong in the aroma. Very sugary, complex - hints of frosting, cinnamon, Allspice, spongecake. Aroma definitely invokes thoughts of sweetness and desserts.
Very strong flavor - would not drink neat as it will set your face on fire. Very powerful demerara taste followed by caramel and dark chocolate. Very warming flavor. Hints of cherry.

I am such a nerd for the art of blending rums into the perfectly balanced cocktail. One of my favourite secret weapons is this angel in a bottle. Fiery proof and seductive caramel make for the perfect 1/2oz in any Caribbean inspired cocktail.
On its own, this spirit is (naturally) one to knock your socks off - but damn is it tasty. The most common tasting note I've heard is Worther's, which is so accurate. Subtle chocolate flavours, vanilla, and even some fruitiness. It is absolutely a must-have for rum-drinkers and bartenders alike.
Careful, it bites, burns, and refuses to let go. We use this as top choice for a floater or mixer in tiki drinks.

Sooo much flavor. Absolutely delicious demerara flavor when mixed properly. An astonishingly big punch of flavor.

Tasted this one side-by-side with a key competitor. This one wins on the nose, the molasses and demerara come through richly.
Tasting this one gives a (expected) alcohol burn, followed by some bitterness and a sour flavor that was a little unexpected and harsh. Definitely not one that I would sip on.
I've used this plenty in cocktails and it does just fine.

Molasses is strong with this one, great as a float or stirred in for a little demrara punch.

It's really good, but I like Ed's better.

LH 151 was a legend in the world of Tiki and exotic cocktails for decades, an indispensable ingredient for classic drinks such as Zombies and Jet Pilots. A couple of years ago the amazing Ed Hamilton (Ministry of Rum) bottled and distributed his own 151-proof rum from Guyana, (also the home of the original LH 151). The new LH 151 is very good to be sure, but Hamilton 151 is smokier and oakier. It's a fuller-bodied option which makes it, in my opinion, a more interesting rum and a richer, more versatile ingredient. You won't go wrong making your Jet Pilots with either rum. But if you have the chance to buy and compare both of these fine products you'll no doubt appreciate the difference.
