Neat it plays it straight — caramel, vanilla and a wood-and-walnut edge, with a bitterness some tasters flag and a body that runs light for a Demerara. Where it earns its keep is as a mixer: one reviewer called the butterscotch nose "the best part," and it puts real flavor into a punch. A bit dosed and short on depth, but a workable everyday Guyanese pour.

How does Lemon Hart & Son Original 1804 taste?
Summarized by AI from 19 community reviews.
Light, sweetish Demerara built for mixing Most see a decent, slightly sweet Demerara mixer with a great butterscotch nose but little depth. Fine in cocktails; underwhelming and a touch bitter sipped neat.

Review by abaker-rum
The nose gives off intense butterscotch that smells fantastic. It is the best part of the rum. Outside of that you get caramel and vanilla notes with wood, alcohol, and some bitterness mixed in. It is a fine rum that would be great for a punch of flavor in cocktails.
Review by Godspeed
This one has neither the abrasive burnt tones of Skipper demerara nor the smoothness and roundness of the El Dorado expressions. It’s a good cocktail rum for a relatively neutral demerara taste (but do you really want that?) but kind of hard to recommend given the options.

Review by Tom Buteneers
Bought is as a mixer when I was trying to find a 151 Demerara (but that’s close to impossible over here) Neat it’s very straight forward, but has no depth or complexity in the flavor. Useable mixer, but not convincing.
Review by Solidfunk
Butterscotch aroma, though light compared to the 5 year. Some oak. Pretty light on flavour though. Dark mahogany pour. On the sweet side, probably dosed. Light dried apricot. Had a glass of this at the Edmonton Westin.
Review by Han
Has of course something of Demerara... strong memories of the engine room in the ship - diesel and heavy oil... who likes it... theoretically good replacement to the Pusser's in Painkiller... but does not fit at all ...
Review by PeixeGato
Rich and round. Relatively high level of sweetness. Roasted almonds and cinnamon with a touch of maple on the palate.
