Pyrat xo favorite by far, but Barbancourt 3 star and 5 star age great too, Whalers Rare Dark is wonderful and not expensive, like Bacardi 8,Appleton Extra,Cruzan- all the Cruzans so far, Gosling Black Seal, - I dont own a rum I dont like so far, but I still havent found a great way to mix them- coke is ok- but too sweet for me for more than one drink- well not sweet really- too syrupy i wish coke tasted like it used to.
