Add a third vote for Zaya. Incredibly smooth and virtually the only real "sipping" rum I've tried that has no detraction. Straight up.

Im a rumhead. Cheap daily rum i always go for captain Morgan private stock. I think it's just fantastic. My wife bought me a 20 year old plantation rum for my bday but I've realized I'm not a huge fan of funky Jamaican rums.
As a tiki collector I had a bottle of lemon hart 151 and honestly it was pretty smooth on ice instead of a floater.
For rum and coke my goto is barbancourt 8 year. Cheap and the perfect flavor with coke products.
Expensive rum i enjoy black tot last consignment. I don't own that but have had it a few times and worth a try.

I'd argue pussers does make the best painkiller. It's my goto.
OP
At $1K a bottle, I won't be owning it either.
I always took that to mean a dead man's treasure chest.
Best rum I ever drank was while I was spending time in Canada and purchased a bottle of Cuban rum, like Cuban cigars their rum is without equal for my taste. I always thought the cigar thing was a myth until I smoked one on my way back Kelowna. Romeo and Julietta 50 ring maduro, smoked that dude down to the point where I couldn't hold it in my fingers, smooth and strong right to the end, never bitter. I smuggled a bottle of Cuban rum back when we sold the property a good fifteen years ago, put it down the boot of my waders. I don't know what I'm saving it for, I was going to drink it when I retired, that's been 12 years now...still have it stashed, if I remember right its Havana Club, I think I was paying $20 US for it back then. Back when we were up there regularly I would stop at Costco and get a case of Mexican Coke and a couple limes and drink Cuba Libres made from that stuff in a big ole glass. Its great straight up as well, smooth and dark

I dunno if that Havana club is still good tbh.. My father had a sealed bottle of Johnny walker from the 80s we opened and it was the worst headache of my life from 1 drink. The current Havana club was bought out but available in grocery stores. It's pretty good both the white rum and dark are worth it to own. As for Cuban cigars you couldn't pay me enough to try another. Had a buddy of mine snag me some from Cuba like 20 years ago and even as a cigar smoker the room spun so bad I puked. Those are no joke.

I guess this is decent stuff, I bought it on base about 10-15 years ago. Never opened. Found this write up a bit ago: Attention Required! | Cloudflare Anybody here tried it?

Appleton estate Jamaican rum
For sipping I kinda like Kraken. Fairly inexpensive and pretty good flavor. Haven't tried any of the expensive ones yet.
