Contrary to Swanky, I would say my home bar is all about having lots of different rums on hand!

To separate the golds & darks is a little difficult because you can use them interchangeably - some rums are darker than others but here's a picture of everything darker than a Puerto Rican style rum:

Some of those darks I don't really rate, Appleton VX was the same colour as the Puerto Rican style rum (ish) so it's not in the picture. I also have a other golds & whites not pictured.

Re Coruba Vs Myers:

I like Coruba but can't get hold if it in the UK (I picked up my bottle in the pic on my travels) - I've come to appreciate Myers is likewise good, you've just got to mix it right (the dilution & sweetness is key) - I use good ol' Myers a lot.

But what Swanky says is true - if you switch a rum in a drink it can make all the difference & that includes switching to 'cheaper / less refined' rum.
