It depends on your own palette. I don't look beyond the words "white" or "light" and grab my stock white rum for the drink. But I am more of a pragmatic mixer. I get a good white and use it for everything, same as gold and dark. Demerara is it's own flavor.

If I am making something that really is just a white rum statement like a daiquiri, I'll use my supply of Ron Cubano 3YR.

I think historically, that rum was likely Bacardi when Bacardi was the standard for smooth nice white rum.
