Amen, brother. I am constantly amazed, perhaps too amazed, at how different rums in different cocktails, and even different mixers. My recent foray into the simple Rum & Ginger Ale - 13 different combinations so far - has showed how some rums get lost, some overpower, and a couple merged into a delightfully new concoction. And then changing the ginger ale makes it all happen again, but with different rums in different ways. Personally, I advocate using the best rum for the cocktail at hand. Finding the best rum for a particular cocktail can be a bitch though.
