It's interesting that in the future, if you count Ed Hamilton's product, there will be FOUR different variations of Guyanese 151 rum in the short space of 10 years. (I think there are some other minor brands of Demerara 151's, but they don't get much attention.) This is how life is sometimes... About Pernod-Ricard: I know they own one of the two Havana Club brands, and possibly both Cuban and non-Cuban, but I'm not sure. But in any case they have much bigger fish to sell if and when the Cuban market opens up again. So Lemon Hart is something they can afford to let go to another company. It's going to be interesting to see how near-future developments impact the Hamilton rum brand. Hamilton has to stay profitable, or it will also disappear. My dilemma: What to do with the last INCH of yellow-label LH151 I have at home.
