Hello,
OK, I give up on Beverages and More. Can anyone suggest an online retailer for Demerara Rums?
Thank you!

Hi Time Wine
Pretty much THE place to get Lemon Hart and Lemon Hart 151.
BUT something seems to be amiss because they have a disclaimer on their website that they are not shipping spirits at this time. I hope all is well in their camp and that this is just a temporary dry spell for ordering. I'd be heartbroken if they cease to provide this serve for those of us in rum deficient states.
If you are looking for El Dorado of any aged numbers, I'm not sure what to recommend. We've been rather lucky to get 15 year somewhat locally in this part of Florida.

In lieu of Hi Time Wine, try http://www.wineandliquordepot.com/. Totally crappy web site (broken images everywhere), but very friendly people. Don't order on their site. Just call them up toll-free. They ship anywhere and the prices are very competitive with Hi Time Wine. I just called the other day for a shipment of Lemon Hart and St James. Once they have your credit card on file, all you have to do is call them, tell them who you are and what you want. That's it. Couldn't be easier.

Nice selection, but sheesh they're expensive. Some examples: Lemon Hart ($21.23 vs $16.89 at Wine And Liquor Depot) and St James Hors D'Age ($33.88 vs $21.59). Shipping seems to be roughly the same. But it's nice to have multiple sources.

It's curious they don't mention the size anywhere. I'm assuming those a 750 ml. prices(?) I guess that's why you have to call.

Florida is a "Distributor State" so Hi Time is not supposed to ship wine or spirits into Florida. They have, and they probably will again, but for now they are not an option for those of us in Florida.
You mentioned that you are in BevMo country, try chatting up the manager of your local BevMo. It may take some work, but usually you can talk a manager into ordering a few bottles of something 'different.' It helps if you are already considered a 'regular' by the staff.

I just learned that the hard way. Yesterday I placed an order for 2 bottles of St. James Extra Old but they sent an email saying "Sorry...." What am I gonna do now? A summer without mai tais just isn't right.

There are plenty of other online places to order St James from. Just look through this thread. St James Extra Old is available from my online supplier.
