The Lemon Hart 80 is a good rum no doubt, you can use it in any recipe calling for a Demerara rum.

I use El Dorado 8 as my Demerara rum but have a bottle of LH80 I use sparingly - I can also order it from Germany being in the UK but y'know... so little so many drinks.

One drink where I think LH80 has the edge over El Dorado 8 is The Atomic Grogs tribute to the Mai Kai's Yeomans Grog. If you can try a version made with both rums I think you'll see a slight preferable difference for the LH80.

You did the right thing to grab it - I saw Lemon Hart Jamaican on the shelf in a store I used to go to regularly, didn't buy it, went home, researched it, when I returned it was gone & never returned!
