HH - You are a true hero. Thanks for helping us decode the LH mystery.

I always assume when there is a label change, a product change is almost always definitive except in the case of product branding. With a 2+ year stop in production, I would think it would be nearly impossible to get back to the exact production quality. I am not surprised by this news.

I do like the red label 151, not as much as the tan of course but it is still my preferred choice in a Zombie. I know some prefer Hamilton's to the red label LH 151, but I am not one of those people. Hamilton's would be a good substitute if LH was no more, but I am excited to see if this new LH will hold a torch to the tan or the red label versions.

Hamilton's 151 is a good rum in my opinion. To me it doesn't have as big of a flavor profile as either of the Lemonhart variations. With the LH (red label even) I can taste many more flavors and is a much fuller rum than the Hamilton's 151. I really do like most of the Hamilton rums on the market quite a bit. I don't always see eye to eye with Ed, I am not a fan of Niessen but there are worse agricoles out there. I hate his Jamaican Dark, although I was surprised when I tried the Jamaican Gold and I liked it. Ed Hamilton has and will continue to great things for the rum community and I really appreciate his efforts.
