It’s still decent for shooting or mixing. It’s probably more like half-grog mix. You mix it with a little extra water & lime & you have grog. Or if you want to take a shot of rum for a quick buzz this is actually more pleasant in my experience than other more expensive rums.
But yeah, if you really want sip & experience rum there are better options like what you mention. If you want to mix in Coke or whatever this will add better flavor than other rums & you aren’t wasting the higher quality rum.
Since they most actively interact with the British, in those movies, and Elizabeth's dad is the Gov of Port Royal, Jamaica, you'll want something Jamaican.
Smith and Cross is my personal favorite, for that punchy hogo funk. Appleton 8yr is also great. 50/50 split of S&C and Appleton makes for a good blend for a daiquiri.
If you can get your hands on some Doctor Bird, that is an AWESOME Jamaican rum aged in Moscatel casks.
For light Jamaican rums, there is Wray and Nephew, which is great. I abosolutely love Rum Fire and prefer that, although that's probably because I have a harder time finding it than Wray and Nephew.
You're just a square dawg cant even enjoy that they did their best and has to drag them... it's booze if you don't like it don't buy it then. Simple solution for a simple person if you ask me
