I think we have seen a handful of new 151's enter the market in the past couple years. There was a time when my local ABC stores only carried the Bacardi 151. This past Sunday I saw four different 151's on the shelf, including Bacardi and Cruzan. Can't remember the other two. I'll have to see what my local Total Wine sells.

I taste-tested a handful of 151s with a friend at my home bar about 6 months ago. I'm a little more careful with my comments about Bacardi now. My taste tests were casual, but I noticed that while they're not the best, they may not necessarily be at the bottom either. But it was a pretty casual test involving full-strength room-temperature tastes. My mouth was a bit tender afterwards. It was an interesting experience.
