A favorite float rum of mine is Coruba (distilled by Wray & Nephew), because it contains so many of the qualities that are prized in a dark Jamaican rum, and "plays well with others". The biggest problem with it, though, is its sometimes hard to come by, as well as being a higher price point, but it's worth it. Hey, that's what I was going to say.
