Substitute for Demerara Rum?? - Tiki Drinks and Food

But it is not always available, either. What commonly available rum can be used in place of LH, in a pinch? There was a discussion about whether Bacardi Select was an acceptable sub for Lemon Hart 80, a while back. I tried it, side by side with LH80, at the time, and remember it was surprisingly similar. Bacardi Select is not as complex, etc., as the LH, of course, but if LH (or El Dorado) is available to you, you wouldn't even asking the question. Yes, it is made by the TC-despised Bacardi,... sorry. But for those who are very limited in available rums, it's too cheap not to give it a try. (I'll refresh my memory with an updated taste comparison, when I retrieve the Select from the houseboat.)
