Lemon Hart Original Premium Demerara Rum is the version reduced to 40° of the famous “151” (therefore at 75.5°) legendary for making Tiki cocktails.
This is a traditional rum distilled at Diamond Distillery and aged for 3-4 years.
This rum can be drunk neat, but also goes particularly well with cola.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose is reminiscent of a heavily toasted oak barrel, from which aromas of nuts of all kinds emerge. These nuts are strongly roasted, and blend perfectly with the notes of coffee grounds that take hold at the same time.
Aeration does nothing to change this roasted and even resolutely burnt ambience, bringing nuances of baked sugar and well-scorched caramel. A few roasted spices are also present, alongside dark, almost licorice-like molasses.
On the palate, a succession of roasted and caramelized nuts slowly unfold. Walnut remains the leader, followed by hazelnut, pecan, then coffee beans, and finally licorice and molasses.
The finish is just as roasted, and even marked by dusty charcoal oak.
"This cocktail rum is a worthy representative of Demerara's dark rums and their roasted flavors..."
