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.

  • Lemon Hart 151 Rum was the official rum of the British Royal Navy for over 200 years, with sailors receiving a daily ration called "tot" until the practice was abolished in 1970. This high-proof rum was chosen for its ability to withstand long sea voyages without spoiling.
  • The "151" in Lemon Hart 151 Rum refers to its exceptionally high alcohol content of 75.5% ABV (151 proof). This potency makes it one of the strongest commercially available rums, often used as a float in cocktails to create dramatic flaming drinks.
  • Despite its name, Lemon Hart 151 Rum contains no lemon flavoring. The brand was named after Lehman Hart, a German-Jewish immigrant who became one of the most successful rum merchants in 18th-century England, supplying the Royal Navy and eventually earning a royal warrant from King George III.

      Compared Side by Side with Hamilton and OFTD

      Two of us sat down for a Rum showdown with three of our favorite rums. I used to get Lemon Hart when it was available years ago in my state and I heard that they changed it at some point so I was curious to see what changed. When Curida came to my state, I had to buy a bottle. After tasting all three, the two of us decided that Lemon Hart was the hands down winner of the taste test. Even if it's not the same as it was years ago, it's still the best rum out there. I've yet to have better.

      Giving me the vapors

      This is proper 151 rum right here. Fantastic aroma and flavor of deep caramel and seemingly vaporizes on the tongue.

      BE CAREFUL! This tastes much better than normal 151, do not get overly excited because you will pay the next morning!

      Hands down my favorite rum for cocktail right now. I love the slight citrus-y edge in my modified Dark and Stormy. It's a delight!
