Want a great showcase for rum but are tired of sipping it neat? Try this - rum flavors dominate, with a bit of sweetness and fruitiness from the sweet vermouth.

El Dorado 8 and Cocchi di Torino was a little rough upon first contact, but the finish and aftertaste quickly won me over.

Use Don Q “Crystal” (not the bat stuff). Skip the bitters! Good quality vermouth (e.g., Vya).
