Thread: Hey fellow rummys, I need some help

I need to find a suitable replacement for the retired Lemon Hart 151 rum. Any good, strong, smokey demerara will do, as it will be used to replicate some classic tropical drinks.

Also, any one have any preference of Pernod vs. Herbsaint in the anise-flavored department?

Man. You are on a MISSION!

151 is my lucky number! :D

Nah man, he's right, I need a good, non-Bacardi 151 that is a little sweet/smokey.

Frankie's Tiki Room in Vegas featured a 160-proof in some of their knockout drinks, but obviously I was not in position to remember the brand.

You know it!

I want to figure out Don's original, ass-kicking Zombie, and there are too many "authentic" recipes somehow "discovered" out there to be true.

Diplomatico rums are fantastic. Try the Reserva Exclusiva, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks, I'll give that one a shot!
