Question for the rum experts - Puerto Rican Light Rum - Tiki Drinks and Food

For Jamaican dark I use either Kohala Bay, Smith & Cross or Myer's, depending on the drink. For a gold, I use Don Q or Appleton Special with both of those being very cost-effective as well. For Demerara, it's El Dorado 12 (Can't get anything younger around here) or 15. Of course for the certain drinks: Lemon Hart 151. As I've aged, I've become less of a "Rum Snob" and scaled back the variety of rums I now hold in inventory; mostly because my guests can't tell the difference anyway. I still keep a few "Special" brands that I hide from sight and use to treat myself privately every once in a while.
