The 1804 is a 80 proof demerara. I picked up a bottle in Vancouver a couple years ago and it was underwhelming (still haven't finished it). This will not fill the void for the old yellow label 80 proof if anyone was getting their hopes up... assuming this bottling is the same recipe as what they had in Canada a while back. The spiced rum is surprisingly good if you need a spiced rum in your life but neither of these are essential for me to keep stocked. Nor is the new bottling of 151. For the time being I'm happy using Hamilton 151 for guests, red label LH151 for myself or people I really like (still have 7 bottles in reserve), and for 80 proof I often go with El Dorado 12.
