Also chiming in on Smith and Cross. It's a little harsh for sipping but an amazing mixer. The literal definition of rum funk.

The finest $20 rum I've had is Appleton Estates; Havana Club (not the Cuban one) is a really close second.

For a little more money ($38~ I think?) you can't go wrong with Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva.

Beyond that, I've noticed it gets murkier. Higher price doesn't always mean better rum. I've got a 23y Ron Zapaca Solera that's pretty good but I don't think it's $50 good.

Buy a bottle of Old Monk XXX for the bottle and mix the rum, it's not very good at all.

As for black rum (dubious branding) I like Goslings Black Seal, and Myer's to a lesser extent.

If you want something a little weirder, look for Gator Bite Satsuma. It's rum mixed with Satsuma oranges and it's delicious.
