What Puerto Rican and Jamican Rums to Mix - Tiki Drinks and Food

But somewhere along the way, I noticed it had become "a blend of finest Caribbean rums", or somesuch. I took that to mean, "mostly the cheapest Virgin Islands rums". To be fair, though, it still tastes pretty much like it used to taste - good blending job, I suppose. Now, I mostly use Castillo silver and gold. Hard to resist, since it's $6.99/liter at my favorite discount store (the 1.75l is $14.99 - a worse deal!). For dark Jamaican, I use Coruba, Myers's, or Appleton. The dark Appleton is harder to find, lately, around here. And I actually like that "signature Myers's taste", in many drinks.
