We&#39;ve been stockpiling rum to get us through the winter because there&#39;s no better spirit for sipping, mixing, and gifting. Here are two bottle that offer quality and complexity for not a lot of cash&#8212;and one to splurge on.
1. Bacardi Reserva Limitada
Layered and elegant, with all the burnt-sugar, molasses, and banana flavors you could ever want. Sip this one straight.

Cruzan Aged Light Rum
It&#39;s light, it&#39;s aged, and it&#39;s delicious. Pour two shots with a shot of fresh lime juice and half a shot of simple syrup and shake with ice for a classic daquiri.

The Kraken Black Spiced Rum
Inside that eye-catching bottle is a rich and spicy addition to your Dark &#39;n Stormy. Just add ginger ale, a dash of bitters, and a squeeze of lime.
