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. http://www.alcademics.com/2015/05/the-difference-between-all-those-bacardi-white-rums.html
