Hey, Folks/Ohana*, I was just at Blanchard's last night, corner (connah, in the vernacular) of Brighton Ave and Harvard, and they were STOCKED!!!! Only the Lemon Hart 80, but at least a dozen bottles of it, and it was $14! Priced to move!! Ohanner in the vernacular* **vennaculah in the vernacular |

Is Lemon Hart really that good to get this worked up about? |

A few days ago I contacted Internet Wines & Spirits - one of the few on-line sources with a bountiful selection that ships to Florida - asking them when they plan to have Lemon Heart back in stock (They list it, but say it's "Out of Stock") and their reply, and I quote: "We do not expect to restock that item." Need I say more? |

Speaking of El Dorado, has anyone in Massachusetts or Connecticut ever seen it in a store? |

The liquor store on the main drag in Greenfield, MA carries several kinds of El Dorado. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the store, but you take the exit off of 91 into Greenfield that would take you to the welcome center, go right onto the rotary, then another quick right into town (if you're coming from the south--if you're coming from the north you'd go all the way around the rotary), and it's a mile or so down on the right, maybe less. I'll be going that way in a couple of weeks and will remember to get the exit number and the name of the store. |

Greenfield is only 2 hours from home... Hmmm.... I would definitely be interested in the name of the store, but don't go out of your way to get it. Still, I'd appreciate it - I've been known to drive to Greenfield for lesser reasons. |

Wow - Martignetti's and Blanchards! I lived within stumbling distance of each at different points - sadly, I didn't yet know the pleasures of fine rum so never took advantage of their selections. They sure got a lot of my beer money, though. Fortunatly I've become smart enough to shop appropriatly at Trader Mort's, now that I live in SD. R.I.P. Mr. Butch! |

I have contacted every recommended on-line source that says they have Lemon Hart in stock . . . NONE are shipping to Florida! The only explanation they give is, "We are not currently shipping liquor to Florida". Maybe they don't believe me when I tell them that the laws here have changed and liquor CAN be shipped to Florida. The one company that I've done business with (Internet Wines & Spirits)says they do NOT plan to re-stock any Lemon Hart. I guess I'll just have to settle for El Dorado as my Demerara Rum. Oh . . . the horror! |

Okay, here's the scoop on the Greenfield, MA store that sells El Dorado. They're at exit 26 off of I-91. Go around the rotary until you're on East 2A and follow that straight for a mile or so. The store is on the right side of the street and is called Ryan & Casey (or Ryan & Casey's). |

Just scored a bottle of Lemon Hart 151 after a dry spell of over a year here in Michigan. Top shelf of an out of the way liquor store all covered in dust. Kinda like finding treasure. |

The Lemon Hart 80 just reappeared in RI again. I was getting a little worried back in December when the shelves went bare at Joyal's Liquors. That's not a usual site. If only they carried the 151! |

Good news! I've talked Bogie's Liquor Store in Los Angeles to carry Lemon Hart. They are really nice people and will even special order Lemon Hart 151 which only takes a few days to get in. Go and get your Lemon Hart! We need to keep this as a good seller so they'll keep it in stock. Bogie's Liquor Store |

I couldn't find any story nearby me in New Jersey that stocks demerara rum. Nor could I find any store that could even order Lemon Hart rum. But I did find a store that could order El Dorado brand Demerara rum. Does anyone have experience with this brand. According to Sippin Safari, this is the name of the distillery in Guyana that makes all the brands of Demerara rum. |

The El Dorado 5 year will do a great job of subbing for LM 80 Proof. The 12 and 15 year El Dorados are delicious as sippers but would be great in any drink. The El Dorado Overproof is a blanco rather than a dark as is the LH 151. You will still need the LH 151 for drinking cqalling for a Demerara overproof. |

I know this is an old thread, but as someone who has personally been having a lot of trouble finding Lemonhart in Los Angeles I thought I'd post this here instead of starting a new thread. A friend just got me a bottle of 151 Demerara (with the newer red label) from Barkeeper in Silverlake for a holiday present. This may be old news, but thought I'd share. |

Does anyone know why no one in New Jersey seems to sell Lemon Hart? I can't find El Dorado either. Shipping for a $30 bottle is $14, kinda kills it for me to pay that much. Now that it's on my radar I'll be looking for it if I leave the state. I wonder why. NJ sucks, again. |

But do look around - make phone calls - and you might find some within driving distance, say 2 to 3 hours depending on where you're at. (Daytrips are always nice, right?) I just got a tip today that it's still on shelves in some places in my city. That won't last for long. The talk among a few at Hukilau is that their research for an alternative has already begun. LH151 has become well-enough established in fine drinking establishments that an alternative to LH151 is really needed. I expect we'll be hearing of alternatives within the next 3 months. There are many fine distilleries around the world, and surely there must be a suitable product out there. |

Unfortunately, you'll probably have to bite the bullet and use mail order. This wine site also covers spirits and does a good job in finding places that have hard to get rums. |

I spoke with Tommy the bar manager at Bali Hai last night. He expressed his concern about LH 151, and didn't seem to know yet what they would do in place of it once the last of their cases are used up. And when I was at the Cat Eye Club (which has recently introduced a tiki cocktail menu) a couple of weeks ago and told them about LH151 disappearing for a year, the bartenders were kind of shocked and didn't know about it. They too weren't sure what they'd do regarding the 2-3 drinks they make that include it. Any one know what the Mai Kai, Tonga Hut, etc. plan to do? "I am Lono!" -- Hunter S.

I think Hurricane Hayward posted here earlier that, on his tip, the Mai-Kai bought up everything they could from their distributor. Martin Cate told me personally that he had, as of the 2014 Hukilau in June, acquired a number of cases of LH151 and that he was on the search for a replacement for when his LH151 supply is exhausted. In all cases, this was causing quite a bit of heartburn all around. Hope that helps. |
