I tried a bunch of Don Q rums on a trip to Puerto Rico recently and came back with several bottles. Their basic stuff (silver, gold) is available in the California but I haven't seen their higher priced labels like Caliche or their flavored rums (which are actually very good) sold here.

For mojitos, my favorite rum is 10 Cane. Sadly, it's no longer being made, so I scoured the internet and stocked up on what I could find: a couple dozen 200ml bottles. It's a slightly unusual format for my bar, but they do remind me of how I got into this rum ... the minibar at IC Montelucia.

I have tried many brands of rum in my days and the one that is my favorite for sipping on is Ron Zacapa Centenario Solera Grande Reserve (from Guatemala). It's available at finer spirit shops and I recently found it at Bev Mo. although it's not the cheapest, but it's also not the priciest either.

It's one thing when you drink it straight, but can you tell the difference in quality of rum once you mix it into a Pina Colada?
How good does the rum have to be to distinguish it from the cheap stuff?
Or how bad does the rum have to be to notice?

My best frozen pina colada was from a distillery in Nassau but who knows if it was the rum, the mix or the fact that I had just climbed a hill in 90 degree temperatures.
