I just put these fine rums to the test, with the results posted on The Atomic Grog:

On a 1-5 scale, with 5 being perfection:
4.7 – Lemon Hart 151 “yellow label”
4.5 – Lemon Hart 151 “red label”
4.4 – Hamilton 151

The differences are extremely slight. The yellow label gets the edge due to its subtle nuances and complexity. The red label and Hamilton are both a bit bolder and more aggressive but lack the maturity of the old label. But it's really splitting hairs. By comparison, I rated Goslings 151 at 2.8.
