Trust me......cheaper rums are VERY detectable in mixed drinks. The better quality the rum, the more flavorful the drink.
Spiced rum is generally not a straight shot or on the rocks drink like whiskey. For the most part rums go best with colas (Coke more so than Pepsi or RC) or fruit juices.
I have experimented with a few other soft drink flavors and come up with some very interesting and delicious combinations. Kracken goes very well with Stewart's creme soda. I have yet to try it with some other of Stewart's creme combinations like orange and creme or cherries and creme.
I think it will go well with black cherry cola too.
It was great with orange juice!
I want to give it a go as the main rum in a Hurricane.
(Now THERE'S a drink for only the true drinker and rum fan!)
As far as pure whiskeys go my preference is Crown Royal. I tend to lean toward the blended Canadian whiskeys.
