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.

Definitely not a sipping rum. Strong burnt sugar and molasses on the nose. Candies cherries and oranges, and oak on the pallet.

This is the ideal additions to had huge depth, and body to any mixed drink.

A shame this rum hasn't been available in Europe lately. Thanks god my gf managed to buy a bottle in NYC for me and to smuggle it through the security control (it was stronger than the airline allowed). [EDIT: Due to the corona crisis some American shops who have it are now offering international shipping. I recently made use of this.] This isn't a rum for sipping straight, it's meant for mixing. And there it struck me as rather condimental in flavour. It reminded me of a savoury seasoning powder, and of decaying molasses. This isn't a candy-like toffee caramel and vanilla thing, it's pungent and condimental. Rubbish bins sometimes smell reminiscent of it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the type who likes to sniffle on rubbish bins, but occasionally there is some similarity in aroma, it's the decaying organic material, and it smells rather interesting and spicy. It's aged in bourbon casks, according to the label, but quite obviously it's only lightly aged. It doesn't have much or anything of a wooden taste. So the deep dark shade is caramel colour. But that's not bad, it looks nice and doesn't alter the taste anyway. This rum is a staple in tiki cocktail culture. However, most of these vintage recipes use lots of other ingredients that hide the flavour of the Lemon Hart 151 rather than highlighting it. So you could just as well use another strong overproof rum for these like the Pusser's. The best cocktail that highlights the Lemon Hart 151's flavour of its own is the 151 Swizzle, just leave away the nutmeg and the cinnamon stick.

This is great for a lot of tiki drinks and other cocktails. Probably would take it neat but also great as a floater on a Bushwacker.

Intense burnt sugar flavors are packed in to this rum. I would sip it on its own to get that mouth filling creme brรปlรฉe taste. This is easily my favorite overproof rum. If you can get it, buy it immediately.

Very vanilla-y, could almost pass for vanilla extract. Maple notes. Gives that great warming hobo heat.

It's an 151 overproof rum. Even in a daiquiri it is very strong. No real flavors just rum and a burn.

Sweet n hot if it wasn't 151 it be a great sip, instead it's a delicious burn...like your ex.

Amazing 151 Demerara. Must have for any collection. Unlike any 151 out there.

Enjoyed out of a Glencairn.

One of the more pleasant overproofs. Oaky with demerara and vanilla notes. Not overly sweet. Obviously a powerful drink, but even sipped straight it seems less assertively alcohol-forward than its ABV would belie.

This is an overproof rum, so lets not mess about it smells like it will kill you !
On the nose burnt chocolate and dark iak wood .

Drink it and wow it tastes like a thick rum treacle which is truly awesome and has loads of funk flavours . A Demerara delight, the only downside is that it's very rarely available in the UK , I can imagine in a cocktail it's a knockout .
