Watson's Trawler Rum is pretty good in my opinion.

Politics is the business of getting power and privilege without possessing merit. A politician is anyone who asks individuals to surrender part of their liberty - their power and privilege - to state, Masses, Mankind, Planet Earth or whatever. This state, those masses, that mankind and the planet will then be run by ........ politicians. (P J O'Rourke)

Captain Morgan's. or Lamb's Navy Rum (depending on which was cheaper) were the two rums issued in the RCN until the early 70's.

I would suggest Gosling's Family Reserve, an aged version of Gosling's Black Seal. Made in Burmuda, UK territory.
Despite being a septic sort steer clear of all US rums, including rums from Puerto Rico, USA. Dreadful stuff or the most part that I would not buy. Only real use is the higher proof Puerto Rican rums can be useful in stripping shellac from furniture if you are planning to redo and french polish it. It smells better than methyl alcohol.
Pusser's from the BVI is also good.Emsav likes this.Nuair a chacann caora, cacann siad uilig

Red Heart. Not sure how accurate this is but was told it got issued on ships in WWII.
Stroh 80% also good but you can't take it on a commercial aircraft as it exceeds the 70% ABV limit."Justice tastes like hairy Bovril!" - RTFQ

Myers is very good.
If you know any West Indibums (I was married to one once) ask them to sort you out a bottle of J Wray and Nephew over proof rum. Get them to insert a stalk of ganja plant into the bottle and leave it for a bit. Best of both worlds. Jamaica - J. Wray & Nephew Limited - Ministry of Rum
Appletons (made by JW&N) is also good: http://www.appletonestate.com/en/3; 2; 1; Firing NOW.........
