From what I gather Mosaiq is not making any money on the brand in Canada. There profits are getting eaten up on importing to the us. They are looking to sell the brand so that someone will still produce it. Basically, we will be looking at a new rendition of LH 151 if we ever see it again. I hope this information is not correct, but it has always struck me as odd that a company would just stop production on a popular rum for a couple years. We may be at the end of the line for tikis most famous rum. That's something new? We have known it was not going to be available until July of 2015 since day one. So it may be a little longer? Mosaiq was no longer carrying it in the US market and the new distributor stopped shipments to clear the old stock off the shelves to re-lable and send out new orders. Has something changed since that initial news way back when?
