So, Mr. Mojito Man, what's your poison?
Me, my brother and dad, sometime after the latter's divorce, went
through this phase of trying every rum we could get our hands on. My
brother's sojourn in Chile brought us access even to the Cuban product
(ironic, that). Dad noted a difference between, as I recall, the
cognac and whiskey types. I've been nursing an affliction for
Barbancourt, the Haitian rum, particularly the 8-year, which I find to
be the sweet spot in value. Goes down smoooth, enough to foil my
friend's attempts at a Persian princess when they inadvertently
consumed an entire bottle and she subsequently fell down the stairs.

Yes, I'm conscious with every sip of the problem of an excellent value
in rum coming from a place like Haiti.

CB: So, the notorious Jamaican doesn't even get a mention ?

The Triangle Trade system was a trade between Europe, America, and
Africa. It got different items to all the places mentioned. The items
were tobacco, sugar, rum, cotton, textiles, and slaves traded between
all of them.
