Here's my hoitytoity opinion on said rums:

If you can find it on your neighborhood supermarket shelf, it is usually shite.
All except Myers and Mount Gay. But what else does one see there:

Bacardi, bacardi and BaCardi. Malibu and Malibu, and Captain Morgan. All FLAVORED rums are yuck, in my taste. That includes all these new designer rums, like Voodoo: It has a Tiki on it, but it ain't Tiki. A man's rum is a rum that is hard to find: Like Barbancourt, Lemonhart, or Dagger.

And by god, what was riding the Trader people when they chose the rums for their new labels. What a shame, what a shame. Here was a chance to undo the taste aberration crime that had been perpetrated by the Bacardi syndicate when it squelched all other brands, but no, they missed it. Palpable for profit. Sigh.
