When i had first got interested in tiki and tiki drinks i asked a specific liquor store, that does their own importing, to see if they could get Lemon Hart in for me and they did, but it was the Jamaican one and i was after the demerara.

Just before Christmas i was looking at some online stores here in Australia and saw some Lemon Hart 151 pictured (the new label/stuff) and immediately ordered a couple of bottles for myself and one for my buddy. (The online store is actually the same place as above, just trading online under a different name). When they arrived and i opened the box, as soon as i saw the yellow caps i knew they had sent me the Jamaican one. Now it was still overproof at 73%, but as it was not the demerara i sent it back and got a refund. I don't recall what the proof was when i originally got a bottle years ago but i'm pretty sure it wasn't OP.

I kinda wish i had kept a bottle now just to see what it was like because it was so long ago when i tried it, and i was new to rums, that i have no idea what it was like, but i needed the money at the time and can 'nearly' get two bottles of some other rum for about the same price (about $75AUS).
