Wray & Nephew have got the Jamaican rum scene sewn up.

Their overproof rum is hugely popular in Jamaica, and a 'Steel Bottom' (W&N Overproof topped up with Red Stripe beer) is the drink of choice of many a Jamaican drunk.

Their Appleton brand is somewhat more refined, with their Appleton White being a good normal strength white rum. Their Estate rums (V/X, Extra, and 21 year old) are all very good quality, from what I hear at least.

I've a decent Mai Tai recipe that calls for the Appleton Estate V/X which does the trick quite nicely.
