Your best bet in the El Dorado line for approximating the Lemon Hart flavor is their excellent 8-year--it is the only aged rum they make that doesn't have sugar added to it. The flavor profile is very similar to the Lemon Hart 80-proof. The 12 and 15 are both too sweet to approximate Lemon Hart in a cocktail.
