It rose to prominence in 1803 as the official rum of the British Royal Navy. It then became an essential ingredient in tiki cocktails like the Zombie (with the help of Don the Beachcomber), 151 Swizzle, Navy Grog, and is still faithfully used at the iconic Mai-Kai Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Hawaii Beverage Guide was fortunate enough to interview both Master Distiller Michael Booth and Brand Ambassador Miles Vrahimis to learn more about the brand. Company Name and Founding Story Lehman (“Lemon”) Hart’s founding really starts with his grandfather Abraham Hart in 1720. Abraham Hart was a merchant who immigrated to Penzance, England from Germany and began importing and trading rums sourced from various islands in the Caribbean. By his death in 1784, Abraham Hart had set the course for the family name for generations to come by securing a solid reputation as a spirits merchant. At the age of 22, Lemon Hart took over the family business from his father, E.L. Hart in 1790, and was very determined to expand the company’s growing interests in the rum trade abroad. Lemon Hart was keenly aware of the old Lancashire proverb, “there’s nobbut three generations atween a clog and clog.” Lemon Hart, being the third generation Hart running the business, would never let that happen. Between 1790 and 1795, under Lemon Hart’s direction, the family business expanded to include blending and production. By the late 18th century, Lemon Hart crafted his own signature blend of rum using select Demerara rums originating from a distillery on the East Bank of the Demer ara River in Guyana. During this time, the Admiralty of the British Royal Navy appointed an official supplier of rum as the Royal Navy had included it as an official ration since 1655. That supplier was Lemon Hart. In 1803, the start of the Napoleonic Wars caused Lemon Hart to move the company from Penzance to the heav ily fortified West India Dock on the Thames in London. While reflecting upon the Battle of the Nile (1798), Lemon Hart remembered that the first thing Admiral Nelson’s fleet attacked was Napoleon’s wine brig, and feared retaliation. This time was also tragic as Lemon’s wife Letitia, who was home alone one evening when her clothes caught fire from a candle in their bedroom, passed away due to her severe burn injuries. A week following her death, Lemon Hart would then deal with the sudden passing of his father who died of a stroke which doctors attributed to the stress and shock of Letitia’s accident. After these tragedies, Hart took refuge in Blackpool, a coastal hamlet on England’s north west coast. In 1804 Lemon Hart returned home with a renewed sense of purpose and determination to share his passion for rum with the world. The early London years were a time of great change, hope, and prosperity both in his business and personal life. By this time, his rum stocks well-secured at Lemon Hart Rum Company’s newly established facilities at the West India Dock (in the historic Port of London). His signature brand, Lemon Hart Rum was keeping the Royal Navy well afloat. Lemon Hart watchfully tended his substantial supply contract from his offices in London and Penzance, where he still maintained residence. In the same year, Lemon Hart met his future wife, Mary Solomon. Hart permanently returned to London in 1811, and lived there until his death on 13 October 1845 at the age of 77 years. Following Lemon Hart’s death, his only son, David took over the business. In 1892, Lemon Hart & Son joined rum importers Portal Dingwall & Norris to form a power ful London-based alliance, which remained intact for half a century. Heavy bombing in World War II drove Alfred Lamb Ltd (creators of Lambs Rum) from their location in London to take refuge in the offices of Lemon Hart & Son. In January 1948, United Rum Merchants (URM) was formed as a result of this union. In 1949, URM was sold to Booker Brothers, McConnell and Company, sugar plant ers from Demerara, Guyana. In 1984, Booker Brothers, McConnell and Company sold their rum business to Allied- Lyons. In June 1989, Allied-Lyons’ rum business, which in cluded Lemon Hart and Lamb’s, was brought together with Tia Maria under one management structure to form Alfred Lamb International Limited, a division of Allied-Lyons. In 1994, Allied-Lyons merged with Pedro Domecq, forming Allied Domecq. In 2005, an ironic acquisition occurred; the French company Pernod Richard acquired the brand. In 2010, the Canadian-based company Mosaiq Inc. ac quired the Lemon Hart brand from Pernod Ricard and implemented a “Return to Heritage” initiative. Approach to Rum Lemon Hart has always been a Demerara style rum; however, there have been different interpretations of this style as it pertains to the brand. According to Mosaiq, “The brand’s previous owner aged and blended Lemon Hart at their facility in Canada and bottled the final product with a percentage of ‘other rums’ for legal purposes. Upon acquiring the Lemon Hart brand in 2010, we implemented a ‘Return to Heritage’ initiative which resulted in moving the aging and blending process back to Guyana and delivering a final product that is 100% Demerara rum.” To accomplish this, Diamond Distillery operated by Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) became the producer of a generations old written formulation that has been passed on through confidential records. 4 HAWAII BEVERAGE GUIDE uploads/Geographie/ 2019-11-hawaii-beverage-guide-digital-edition.pdf
