Lemon Hart Original 1804

This is a great rum for tiki drinks and tropical rum cocktails! An old classic...but not as great as the 151...not as much of a sipper as it`s a mixing rum.

Aroma - fresh baked oatmeal cookies followed by lemon peel, brown sugar, and raisin

Taste - raisin followed by demerara sugar, molasses, and a light black cherry finish

About as middle of the road as it gets. Appropriately priced and rated.

Very nice mild demerara rum. Definitely does not hold a candle to the 151, but still good overall.

This was not what I expect the royal navy to enjoy. Much like Pusser's, it definitely is a unique flavor unlike most aged rums. But it has a bite that is not enjoyable.

Blending it with other rums will mellow out the flavors and make it more enjoyable, but it makes the other rums less enjoyable.

I recommend letting it age in a decanter for a long while to mellow it out. Maybe it'll get better. I suspect it will.

Low sweetness, good spicy vanilla, rich dark sugars.

Great base for complex drinks if you want the tastes to come together and still taste that rum in it. Terrible neat.

That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve tried so far, and I’m not a spring chicken, believe me I’ve never buy a bargain or make spontaneous purchases, always aim for the quality. I would highly recommend to stay away and take something else.

Tried this rum neat for the first time. It has a pleasant flavour and a nice aftertaste. While not as smooth as my go to Goslings Black Seal, I will enjoy this bottle. If it is good enough for the British Navy it is good enough for me. Cheers!
