I can sip them straight no problem and I think most of them are quite smooth. If you are making a Trader Vic's Mai Tai, you have to use Martinique rum because that is what the recipe calles for. Otherwise it is not the original recipe Mai Tai, but a spin on the recipe. Clement is not my favorite, St James is but it is no longer imported to the US. The ones I like to use are Rhum JM, St James and Depaz. I think these are all smooth and light rums that work perfectly in a Mai Tai. I think Clement is harsher, but still would work well. Neissen is a bit too funky for me and Duquesne and St George are total garbage that should be poured down the drain. That being said, I think El Dorado or Lemonhart would both make a good Mai Tai, it just would not be the Trader Vic's recipe.
