The Binny's near North and Clyborn in Chicago had about 20 bottles on the shelf on Saturday.
$29.99 is more expensive than it used to be, but if you want it, the stuff is there.

ATP picked up a couple of bottles today at Hi-Time. It's $29.99 a bottle, and it is the old stock with the original Lemon Hart label.
Now go make a Mai Tai!

I was able to only pick up one bottle on Sunday from Hi Time. I hope they still have a few bottles left next week after grocery shopping, that is if Mrs Chippy would let me buy some rum instead of those lousy vegetables she is always making me eat.
What do you all think, Brussle Sprouts, Broccoli, Peas, or Lemon Hart?

Sugarcane is technically a grass, maybe you can say it's a fermented vegetable juice?

The Binny's in Elmwood Park IL (North & Harlem) has close to a case on the shelf. The manager there told me they haven't had it since 2000!

They have a few bottles -- 8 when I last went in on Monday -- of LH 151 at Beverage Warehouse in Los Angeles. I still have 2 1/2 bottles of the stuff, so I'm good right now, but definitely worth the trip if you're in LA County. $29.99/bottle.

Thanks Rum Guy and others for the posts. Re-supplied our stock a little - more Jet Pilots.

My stock has been replenished...thanks to Rum Guy for your efforts to liberate the remaining stock of Lemon Hart 151. I indeed held off on my swizzle until I had secured my bottles (thanks also to Hi Time!), but I finally got it this past Monday.
And this weekend, I can lift the embargo on some of my favorite LH 151 recipes. Hart of Darkness and Jet Pilots and Tiki Puka Puka...oh my!

just got back from hi-time cellars,
glad we picked up a few bottles of LH 151
even if they were $29.99 each.
they were stocking the last case (12 bottles)
as we left.
We hope to use some of it for our "room crawl"
drink at Tiki Caleinte this May.

Just had some LH 151 in my drink at Bali Hai in San Diego. It's back and so are their drinks.

I was just at Hi-Time picking up some aged rum they don't carry at my local Beverage Warehouse. I was surprised to see they had LH 151 still on the shelf. I grabbed every bottle left. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it since I'm too lazy to mix. Maybe I can use it to get into the Rumpus Room.

Is adding ice and/or water too much work? Depending on what you could stomach, try a Rum Mist (rum on finely crushed ice, like a rum sno-cone)or just pour in some water til your comfortable. I think LH151 is really flavorful and can be drunk straight
