Robert A. Burr: "The official line is that Lemon Hart 151 has not changed from the original formula, but clearly, to me, the Hamilton (red label) version was inferior. That may be related to the fact that my original bottles have aged in glass for a few years. In any case, the company insists that the new Lemon Hart 151 is the same as the previous versions. Tasters will voice their own opinions when they (have) product is in hand."

Hamilton is not the same as the Red Label Lemon Hart. Yes, they were made by the same distillers, but the formula, labels, etc were quite different. They even made Ed Hamilton take the word "Demerara" off his labels. LH yellow label, LH red label, and Hamilton are all significantly different in flavor. And saying the "new Lemon Hart 151 is the same as the previous versions" makes no sense since there were different versions. My question is ... which previous version?
