(I have searched the forums for this topic but I came up with nothing so I am hoping I am not reposting)

So in the Shag Tiki Drink Deck I want to make up a batch of "Fantasy Islands"

The recipe calls for:

1 1/2 oz Jamaican Rum
1 oz dark rum
1/2 oz light rum

2 oz cream of coconut
1 oz pineapple juice

pinch of nutmeg

My question is I would like some opinions on what types/brands of rum I should use for the Jamaican, Dark & Light. I want to buy just 1 bottle of each so I was hoping the mixologists out there could give me some insight as to what they think would be the best combination. Realize I am not a big expert on rum since I usually drink Mai Tais or Zombies so if the recipe for a Fantasy Island is the same as something more commonly named I would also like to know.

I appreciate any input you all could give :)

Mahalo!
