I'll second the Mount Gay XO but raise you an English Harbour 5yr from Antigua if you can get it delivered on time. Doorlys XO from Barbados is also a good bet.
Legendario is a good rum from Cuba. It is very hard to get hold of though. In Cuba they have so may variates - no 12, no 13 etc... made by the same company.
For something a bit different - see below - I've had it and it is amazing - served in a big glass- ice - ice cold coke or diet coke and an orange slice.
I realise that Cockburns(pronounced Coburns), is considered something of a run of the mill product and this thread has of course mentioned some very rare superior products.......but try it with ginger beer and ice....it's the dogs!

Hah, I used to work with a bloke called Jamie Symington whose family owns, wait for it:
Graham's, Warre's, Dow's, Cockburn's, Smith Woodhouse, Quinta do Vesuvio, Gould Campbell, Quarles Harris and Martinez. (Along with a number of wine and maderia producers).
If you can get it, try some Mauritian Rum. It is really quite delicious. If you ever have the pleasure of visiting that beautiful country, the only things Mauritian that you can buy at the airport is Rum and Sugar.

My mate's family are from Mauritius... Green Island is a really good one

The really interesting thing about rum is that it seems to be moving in the same direction as whisky (or the infinitely superior whiskey). The good quality dark rums are now being produced in single estate or other versions that have distinct characteristics and flavours, more suitable for the sort of sophisticated appreciation for which Charlton fans are renowned, rather than used with mixers to get pissed at the weekend (though I hear other days are available too).

A couple of lumps of ice is the only thing a nice rum needs.
With it being bloody freezin' at the moment, straight will have to do!

Bloody hell, you purists don't want to go to any rockin/rockabilly weekenders then, rum & coke is a staple and practically law
Buy Appleton, empty it out into a vase or similar, fill with Lidl's finest, decant into Apleton bottle, serve and relax. Then drink Appleton knowing you have won this competition.
When I drank I only drank rum as it comes, ice just waters it down. My favourite was Captain Morgan's, loved the stuff. Never really liked Lamb's. Not had a drink for over 10 years and occasionally miss a glass on a winters night whilst sitting in front of the log fire. Oh and by the way I'm not an alchi.

Might be a bit of a trot though.
Some people shouldn't be allowed nice things.

That stuff (Overproof) is like aviation fuel - 63% by volume.
