The winner: El Dorado 8 Year Old Cask Aged Demerara Rum
El Dorado Cask Aged 8 Year is the real rum here: aged, still-driven, and rated solidly across the board. Chairman's Reserve Spiced is a fine budget mixer, but its critic score is rough. Pay the extra $10 to $12 for the El Dorado if you're drinking it neat.
