TT Tonga Tiki Tiki Socialite The Tonga Lounge in Safety Harbor, FL Joined: Nov 14, 2006 Posts: 189	TT Tonga Tiki Posted posted on 09/02/2011 My bottles of the new label arrived today. So I had my own taste test. I seem to agree with everything I've heard so far. The new label is slighty sweeter and the original seems to have just a bit more smoke. My opinion is that new label Lemon Hart 151 is excellent and it will help Donn's drink live on. Anyway, after your first Zombie or Jet Pilot, you won't give a shit about the very subtle differences.

OF THE OLD STUFF!!! If anyone's in/near the Denver area, come on by and get a bottle before they all wind up in my house. Davidson's in Highlands Ranch. See you there.

I've bought my 2 bottles (not trying to be greedy) and having them shipped. This will bring my old label stash up to 5 1/2 bottles. Long live Jet Pilots!

F Fallenstar Member Panama City,FL Joined: Nov 01, 2005 Posts: 26	F Fallenstar Posted posted on 04/16/2012 Got lucky and scored another bottle of the old stuff. I called the shop I had last bought it from, and they told me they were all out. 5 minutes later they called back because they found a bottle in the back! Still no sign of the new label here in FL.

LL Limbo Lizard Tiki Socialite Aboard the 'Leaky Tiki', Dallas Joined: Aug 24, 2006 Posts: 788	LL Limbo Lizard Posted posted on 04/16/2012 Looked at the merchandise. I think I'll get me one of those Lemon Hart Zippo lighters,... for $50. Hmmm, on second thought, I think I'll just save the $50 for the rum, instead.

A aquarj Tiki Socialite SF bay area, CA Joined: Apr 02, 2002 Posts: 1124	A aquarj Posted posted on 04/16/2012 Last Fri I was surprised to see 4-5 bottles of the old LH 151 on the shelf at the local Mollie Stone's grocery store (on El Camino in San Mateo, CA). Sorry, there are probably many many places that still have some deadstock - dunno if this is really the place to post all those sightings. Just thought I'd post in case any SF bay area peninsula zombies or jet pilots want to know. I couldn't help getting one more to add to our basement stock, but left a bunch on the shelf. Funny thing about that Mollie Stone - they don't have a big liquor section, but they have some oddities from time to time. For a long time they had a bottle of the "old" Pyrat Cask 23 (before it became owned by Patron and changed to "1623") sitting way up high on the shelf. By the time I noticed it there, I was aware of the legend that the 23 was much better, and hard to find. But I never could get the guts to pull the trigger at that price tag though, and then somewhere along the line it disappeared. -Randy

KD Kill Devil Member Chicago Joined: Feb 16, 2011 Posts: 284	KD Kill Devil Posted posted on 04/18/2012 You think there'd be some kind of merch with a repro of the label. Wouldn't you want your Lemon Hart t-shirt, etc, to say "Rum" and/or "151" somewhere on it? Lame-o!!!

K kludge Member flyover land Joined: Jun 14, 2010 Posts: 11	K kludge Posted posted on 05/29/2012 I hadn't been paying attention and didn't realize it had been re-released. Stumbled across it at Surdyk's in Minneapolis, snapped it up all excited-like, much to the amusement of my date. Later that night, I cracked it open to give it a taste like I do with all new liquors. Somehow forgot that it's a 151 and nearly choked! But with a splash of soda water, it opened right up... beautiful, beautiful rum! I think I need to create something that uses both this and Wray & Nephew, just for the punch-in-the-face value.
I Iscah Member Quiet Village Tiki Lounge, MD Joined: Jun 03, 2011 Posts: 68	I Iscah Posted posted on 05/30/2012 Correction to my earlier post from a few days back-- I found a few bottles of old label Lemon Hart 151 at Ace Beverages in DC last night. I only bought one, so for anyone in the DC area, there's still a few left. I think they were either $28 or $30 each.

I only have a few bottles stashed away and fear I'll never be able to easily buy it here in aust.

I Iscah Member Quiet Village Tiki Lounge, MD Joined: Jun 03, 2011 Posts: 68	I Iscah Posted posted on 05/30/2012 Would that I could, but well, money. Honestly, I've never used a lot of 151, anyway. I tend to go through mai tai fixings faster than anything else.
M meega Member Pewaukee WI. Joined: Aug 19, 2007 Posts: 40	M meega Posted posted on 07/03/2012 Just a heads-up for Wisconsinites........at least for south-eastern Wisconsin. I've seen Lemon Hart 151 at Sendik's on Capital(Brookfield), and Sentry(Delafield). In the past few years I've checked out most of the major liquor stores around here for any kind of Lemon Hart with no luck - had to mail order at considerable extra cost. I've since quit drinking, and now find it at two local grocery stores within a week...my loss - your gain!

You could always count on them to have the old product in stock so nice to see them carrying the new label.
H heylownine Grand Member (1 year) Agoura Hills, CA Joined: Oct 05, 2008 Posts: 978	H heylownine Posted posted on 09/15/2012 If you're in Southern California and looking for Lemon Hart 80, it seems to be popping up here and there. I picked up 6 bottles at Van Nuys Wine & Liquor Depot and it sounds like Trader Mort's has some as well. They have a little more at Wine & Liquor Depot and if I understand correctly, the distributor located a few hundred cases and that's what is out "in the wild" now. Pretty helpful because El Dorado 12 and 15 have recently become scarce and are apparently back ordered from the same distributor. Kevin

That number was for the supposed west coast FL distributor and came directly from Lemon Hart, so he is costing himself and the lines he carries business by not bothering to return phone calls from the liquor stores he could be selling product to.
