Note: I know there are quite a few Lemon Hart threads already, but it seemed appropriate to start a new topic with this big news. For further reading on the previous versions of Lemon Hart, check out these threads:

Now, on to the news ...

Robert A. Burr (Miami Rum Renaissance Festival, Rob's Rum Guide, Rum Minute) posted this on the Global Rum Club group on Facebook:

First Look: New Lemon Hart 151, now dubbed Original 1804 Black Rum, along with a Blackpool spiced rum at 43%, are soon to arrive in USA.

Demerara USA is importing, same as El Dorado. Part of a movement by the distiller to take more control their finest expressions.

Looks like there is both 151 and 80 proof coming ...

For a bit more background, I go into the Lemon Hart saga in depth on my blog, including a recent comparison of Lemon Hart 151 red label, yellow label and Hamilton 151.

Looking forward to putting the new version to the test. Considering it's coming through Demerara USA, one would hope it will be widely available.
