My primary rums that I keep going back to are as follows:

Clement VSOP, Appleton Reserve, Appleton 12-Year: Primarily for Mai Tais

Gosling's Black Seal: Mostly for Dark and Stormies

El Dorado 3-Year: For any drink requiring a silver rum (Daquiris, Pina Coladas, Blue Hawaiians, Mojitos, Scorpions, etc...)

Lemon Hart 151: Essential for Zombies

Zaya: Mostly for Cuba Libres and occasionally for sipping

El Dorado 12 and 15: 12 on the rocks and the 15 is sipped neat

Cruzan Aged, Flor de Cana Gold, Flor de Cana Extra Dry, Mount Gay Eclipse Gold, Pyrat XO, Coruba, Ron Matusalem Gran Reserva, Ron Zacapa Centenario 23: All rums I enjoy, but wouldn't necessarily replace right away once I finish them. The Cruzan is my basic gold rum for most standard tiki cocktails however.

Sailor Jerry, Seven Tiki: Decent Cubra Libre, but mostly keep around for casual rum drinkers who only want a rum and Coke.

Malibu Passion Fruit, Bacardi 151: Been sitting on my shelf for ages and likely will never use.
