I would never waste a $50-$100 bottle of rum when mixing a rum&coke, but yes, IMO there is a difference between using <$8/bottle crap and a slightly better rum in the ~$15 range such as Captain Morgan, Havana Club etc.
Iīm not really a whiskey drinker, but the same idea probably applies: Donīt waste an expensive single malt / bourbon / etc., but also avoid the very cheap stuff.
