I make mine with Appleton Estate Extra Rum. This is a 12 year old rum with a lot of complexity, spice, and dare I say, a bit of smoke. These flavors are noticable and quite desirable in the Mai Tai (if you stick to one of Vic's three recipes).

Pampero could be interesting with its coffee/leather/smoke flavors.

If you try the Gosling's Old Rum, let us know what you think. I haven't pulled the trigger on that one yet.
