So then you were rating it in comparison to other categories of rum, rather than just against other 151's? I guess the rating makes more sense in that context.

Yes, that's my overall rating. Lemon Hart 151 yellow label is No. 1 in my book. But I'm a cocktail geek and not a connoisseur of sipping rums. Which explains my earlier comment about ED 21. I haven't been lucky enough to try ED 25 yet. At the prices I've seen it listed, my only hope is to find it at the 2016 Miami Rum Fest.

Based on my experience at the Miami Rum Fest last year, I would be very surprised to find the ED 25 there. ED25 is very limited and is very expensive in comparison to everything I saw at the Rum Fest. The 1980 version of ED25 is still my favorite rum of over 500 I've tasted, but it's a unicorn now. The later versions are also quite good, but also hard and expensive to get.
