While everyone is focusing on Lemon Hart, not many have realized that a whole new slew of competitors are coming out of the woodwork vying for the 151-proof/overproof crown. Since Bacardi has officially vacated the category with ending the production of their reputation-stricken 151, there are a lot of new kids on the block.

So, which one will it be?

An 'extensive' blind taste testing is in order here. Not sipped with added water but in the form of a classic Daiquiri for a more accurate analysis. Only mass-produced, commercially available gold or dark 151-proof/overproof rums will be considered for the challenge.

NOTE: The old label Plantation Original Dark Overproof (73%) will be included. The old yellow label Lemon Hart won't be considered as we all know how that would end...

ps. If you believe there are any other 'accessible' and commercially available 151-proof/overproof rums to consider, please advise.
