Your most important rum will be your dark. That's your main flavor and aroma in cocktails. I use Myers's and there are a few others that are good if you can get them. I would be surprised if you can't get it where you are. Here is my tiki bar basics post You really are closer than you think. Get some Lemon Hart 151, a solid dark and the mixers and you are ready to make the best cocktails in the Bum's books. IMO a Mai Tai is not your goal or your standard. I never touch those. Drinks you should strive to make: Jet Pilot, Zombie Punch, Cobra's Fang, 151 Swizzle, Rum Barrel, Nui Nui.
