What are the best Rums for a home made Mai Tai? - Tiki Drinks and Food

So far the best mix of rums in my home made Mai Tai are El Dorado 15 year Special Reserve (strong, rich, caramel) and Havana Club Anejo Reserva (oily, smooth and tasty). Has anyone else got any rum recommendations for the classic tiki drink? (this is not meant to duplicate other Mai Tai recipe posts, I wanted to get other tiki folks personal recommendations rather than try a 1001 variations from books) [ Edited by: Kon-Hemsby on 2004-07-27 09:53 ]
