I favor Mt. Gay Eclipse rum, myself, for regular sipping. Most of the cheaper rums are nasty.
This is a heavy blackstrap rum... think of a rum and molasses mix with some spices (I think nutmeg is fashionable) thrown in. If you try it before I do, let me know how you like it.

Not bad at all. But my (adult) son’s friend would start imitating Captain Jack Sparrow when he drank it, so now it’s banned from my house.
I will. My neighbor at the marina gave me a bottle of Pampero Aniversario for Christmas. Squat bottle that comes in a leather wrapper. Supposed to be excellent sipping rum. Haven’t tried it yet.
I buy offbeat labels. I bought Death Wish Coffee for some Marina neighbors because it had a skull and crossbones on it. I’m partial to Buccaneers and pirate stuff but sea stuff is good too. Lol
