I use the cheaper Cruzan rums in place of Bacardi or any Puerto Rican rum unless the drink recipe is very specific. Even then I still use 'em. I'm surprised nobody mentioned Foxy's Firewater brands or Pusser's blue label. Rhum Barbancourt 5 is still my straight up fave on ice, although I have yet to try Gosling's. I also like Mount Gay "sugarcane brandy aged rum". Nice sweetness behind it. Good mixer. Nice in a cuba libre. Anybody down any Fernandez Black Label? Or puncheon rum? I have a friend from Trinidad that is recommending these. I'm going to get some on her good word, but I'd be interested in anyones experience. pele
