I have tried at least a dozen different aged rums in this cocktail, some work much better than others, but hands down the best combo so far is with Matusalem Gran Reserva 15. Even the Matusalem 18 was not quite as good. I have also tried swapping for a couple different bitters in this one but always go back to Ango. It's funny, I have finally built up a respectable bitters collection of a dozen or so different types and it's great to mix things up a bit, but I have yet to find anything with nearly the versatility of good 'ol Ango.
