Got these to kick off my new hobby.

Now what you do is make a Mai Tai with;

Mount Gay/Bacardi
Mount Gay/Smith & Cross
Mount Gay/Appleton's
Mount Gay/Myer's
Mount Gay/Clement
Mount Gay/ Flor De Cana

and then;

Bacardi/Smith & Cross
Bacardi/Appleton's
Bacardi/Myer's
etc, etc,

until you go through every combination and then you can decide for yourself which combination YOU think works the best.

It's quite a few years ago now but when my home bar was at it's peak it had about 32 different rums and what i did was exactly like i just mentioned above, tried just about every rum with a different one in a Mai Tai trying to find a great combination. None of them were bad but the one i do recall as being a favourite was using Havana Club (i can't remember which one) with English Harbour. Boy i wish i had all those rums again.
