Take one of your low-end rums, put an ounce into a shot glass, and let it sit out overnight. You'll be surprised how much of the flavor disappears in just one night. I have some fairly strong liqueurs which I have poured into small sipping glasses and then carelessly forgot about until the next morning. In some instances I would say that as much as 90% of the flavor disappeared.
