Spiced rums tend to be much sweeter, sometimes sickeningly so. In fact quite a few are actually liqueurs, but people like em so hey.
White rums are generally only good for putting in coke. Dark or golden rums are mixers or 'sipping' depending on the quality. In the £20 - £30 range, Plantation are good, the Mount Gay Black Barrel I'm on at the moment I'd reccomend. Flor de Cana, Angostoura 7 year old are good. A lot of people are raving about Don Papa from the Philippines but I've not tried it yet. If you wanted to push the £40 - £50 mark, Diplomatico and Ron Zacapa are fine examples. Try a snifter in a pub.
I'd swerve Havana Club, Captain Morgan and Sailor Jerry meself .

After the snoozefest that was the first-half I'm going to numb the tedium by opening and drinking a bottle of last year's damson gin.
...has to be proper dark rum for me, none of that spiced stuff.

So I asked around a bit and found a good local bar with a fine selection of local rums and so began my education.
After sampling many a decent rum I settled on a Brugal 1888 gran reserve and my favourite was Cubaney 25 year old, which was like nectar.
Im deffo a convert to Rum now.
Not really a rum drinker myself, however whist on holiday in Dominican Republic I decided to indulge in the local tipple.
