It's not like there's a Lemon Hart factory down there producing this stuff. When can't someone else just import the same blend? As I understand is that's what Ed Hamilton did. He was the distributor for Lemon Hart in the United States and when they wouldn't let him import any more he went to the source in Guyana and had them make an overproof rum he bottles and sells under the Ministry of Rum label called Hamilton 151 Demerara. Although I don't think the blend is identical, it's supposed to be very similar and an acceptable substitute. It looks like Hamilton 151 is getting harder to find lately, but that's probably just the first shipments selling out.
