About Lemon Hart 151 Rum

Gilbert and Sullivan, legendary creators of The Pirates of Penzance, would be proud.  Lemon Hart 151 Rum is a brand so rich in heritage, yet so important to the modern cocktail bar, that it is able to live up to its own incredible history.

Lemon Hart is named for the brand's founder, Lehman Hart.  He grew up on the Cornwall coast after his grandfather, Abraham Hart, immigrated from Germany to Penzance in 1720.  After founding Lemon Hart in 1768, Lehman anglicized his name and quickly set about creating an English legend.  

Lemon Hart was a merchant, trading in the finest rums from around the world.  By the end of the century, they'd created a propietary blend that won the hearts of British Sailors.
