Is that the Tiffany drinks cabinet? Was £500 but since the Patek special edition came out it's worth £20k.
We’ve got a nice drinks cabinet and since thread we’ve been adding the odd rum bottle to it :unconscious

El Dorado 12yr is often discounted to £30 on Amazon and at that price is pretty unbeatable - great for sipping and in an Old Fashioned.
For sipping/treat:
El Dorado 15yr
Ron Zacapa 23
Havana Club Seleccion Maestro
Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva
For cocktails:
Mid/dark (Dark and Stormy etc): Diplomatico Mantuano or Havana Club 7yr. If you're into Rum and Coke then imo Havana Club 7yr and a twist of lime is unbeatable to make one.
Light: (Mojito etc) Havana Club 3yr
I quite like these two

I like Havana Club 7 year. Picked some up at the distillery in Havana, very smooth.
Only ever bought one bottle of rum - Pusser’s Rum.
Really liked the clean taste - totally unlike all the ‘cooking’ rums I had tried before.
I’m much more of a whisky drinker than a rum drinker, but Angostura 1787 rum is extremely moreish. It’s a 15 year old blend. One to drink neat.
No idea what it’s like, but I picked up this from NC last week. (When I travel I like to try the local stuff that we can’t get back in the uk.)
I’ll update once I’ve had a taster.
…likewise with the whisky

Sipping the Cassario Aldi tonight. Not with a cube
We’ve been going through a lot of spiced rum lately, trying different ones with some great results.
Lugger Spiced Rum was very nice, need to get another of those soon. As was a honey spiced one from the Devon Rum Co. We’re getting a delivery from the craft rum company every other month and this month we received the No Name Distillery which is also good. Also was given Duppy, which we’ve not tried yet.
We’re probably being heathen’s here but we prefer ours with ginger ale or ginger beer, with a slice of lime, or some lime or lemon juice.
Interestingly (well interesting for me, boring for you maybe :-) ), the very first Rolex shop I ever went into was in Charlotte Amalie, which is in St Thomas in 1997. There was a Rolex AD called A H Riise that had two stores in the same town. It’s the shop that made me want to save up for one and I always remembered the name as it was unusual. I found out last week they do their own rum - Black Barrel Navy Spiced. It’s just arrived, so looking forward to trying.
My dad drinks alot of rum, but only white rum and sprite. Had a few bad experiences drinking rum in my younger days so avoid it now, this was mostly in Trinidad and each drink is mostly rum with a splash of coke.
Well I’m off on holiday soon so was going to save it a while, but in the spirit (get it :-) ) of the forum, I’ll try it and report back :-)
Funnily enough we drink Kraken a bit and quite like it. My mate drinks Sailor Jerry’s all the time, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Eldorado 12 or 15. Always a hot topic in Guyana and there is clear preference between the 2.
The BrewDog rum often sold in 500ml bottles was pretty good too.

Here's a rum suggestion for you: mango, anchovy and marmalade sandwiches.
Oh sorry, you wanted suggestions for rum.
I blame the heat. I'll get my coat.
