CEE TEE:
Hi CCS, I don't know the Gosling's...will check it out if I have the chance.  The Diplomatico is molasses-based and i suspect most Venezuelan rums to be.

Anaxilus:
I've heard good things about Havana Club. A little harder for us to get here I think.

Donald North:
I 've had Havana Club a couple times while abroad. It's good but I didn't find it mind blowing - I think some of the appeal is it being forbidden fruit here.

I too like Zacapa and Flor de Cana.

CEE TEE:
^Yes, I like Havana Club for the smoke and the way it cuts through a cocktail the same way a really peaty single-malt cuts through and adds to a Blood & Sand.  I no longer would drink the 7-yr Havana Club straight just for the interest and power.
Could label each rum as "sipping" or "mixer"...

DrForBin:
hello,

i mix my spirits with ice, so YMMV. (with rum a half lime sometimes.)
 
this is based on my experience (US dollars) in the state with the highest Spirits Excise Tax in the good ol' USA, (we gotta be #1 in something.)
