Best Martinique Rum? - Tiki Drinks and Food

I ask because I tried Clement VSOP in a chinese restaurant & was very underwhelmed (near zero flavour). I tried it again (from a new bottle) & I could definitely taste a lot more flavour! At the weekend I tried Rhum Barbancourt 3 star & again it tasted like nothing. I asked the bartender & he said most likely the bottle had been open a few years. Both were neat, no other real variables (i.e. I've tried quite a few neat spirits & not had this variation between tastings)- any thoughts?
