What is Lemon Hart 151 Rum?
Lemon Hart 151 Rum is a powerhouse overproof rum that's been a bartender's secret weapon for decades, prized for its ability to add depth and complexity to cocktails. This iconic spirit has a fascinating history dating back to 1804 when Lehman "Lemon" Hart became the first official purveyor of rum to the British Royal Navy, supplying the daily rum ration that kept sailors' spirits high on long voyages.
Why do we love Lemon Hart 151 Rum?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Lemon Hart 151 Rum for its rich history and unparalleled intensity. This Guyanese demerara rum boasts a robust 75.5% ABV, making it one of the strongest commercially available rums, perfect for adding depth and complexity to tiki drinks and other tropical cocktails without watering them down.
How do you drink Lemon Hart 151 Rum?
Lemon Hart 151 Rum shines brightest in tropical-style cocktails where its bold flavor and high proof can stand up to fruit juices and other mixers. While it's not typically sipped neat due to its strength, a small splash over ice can be a potent treat for experienced rum drinkers on a hot summer day, pairing wonderfully with spicy Caribbean cuisine or rich, chocolatey desserts.

Nose: Intense molasses and burnt sugar hit first, followed by vanilla and oak. Whiffs of tropical fruit like overripe banana and pineapple emerge. Alcohol vapors are prominent but not overwhelming.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Dark caramel and demerara sugar dominate, balanced by spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Hints of leather and tobacco add complexity. The high alcohol content creates a warming sensation without being harsh.
Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades, leaving behind a pleasant mix of oak, dark chocolate, and subtle coffee notes. A lingering heat reminds you of its strength, while traces of dried fruit and spice slowly dissipate.
Lemon Hart 151 Rum is crafted using a blend of pot-still and column-still rums from Guyana, which are aged for up to two years in oak barrels before being blended and bottled at a potent 151 proof (75.5% ABV). What sets this rum apart is its use of Demerara sugar cane, grown in the mineral-rich soil along Guyana's Demerara River, which imparts a unique depth of flavor and subtle smoky notes to the final product.
Main Ingredient: Molasses
