I noticed everytime I uncapped a bottle of Bacardi Select, I got a similar aroma to that of Lemon Hart Demerara. Procuring Lemon Hart 80 costs me about twenty bucks and a twenty mile drive, so I gave the two brands the old Pepsi challenge to see how they fared against each other in a blind taste test. Blindfolded, my girlfriend served me both in a clean snifter, with a mouthwash inbetween. The results were surprising. After she noted my preference, I had her do the same.

We both picked Bacardi Select. I know it sounds like blasphemy, but its true! The Lemon Hart was rougher, more alcoholic, and younger tasting. The Bacardi Select tasted like a premium Liquor, smooth, smokey, buttery, and finishing nicely. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about "keeping it real" whatever that means, but at a ten dollar difference in Price (depending on who's got Bacardi on sale, I can find it for ten bucks) I will now only buy Lemon Hart 151, and use Bacardi Select as a better replacement for Lemon Hart 80. How geeky I spend my evenings. My girlfriend was kindof embarassed.
