I normally wouldn't touch Bacardi's standard white (aka Superior), but at about half the price and having many of the same basic qualities needed in a white Puerto Rican rum, Ron Castillo serves its purpose as a base rum in Mai-Kai cocktails. I also just picked up a bottle of Castillo gold, so I'll soon be putting both to the test.

Bacardi gets a bad rap, IMHO. They do a good job with higher-end rums. Of the whites, I recommend Maestro Gran Reserva and the 89-proof Heritage.
