By all means, I think multiple rums in a drink like this makes a superior, more nuanced drink! But you need something super-dark to top this. 15-mL will suffice if you don't feel comfortable using it as the base. And even Kraken works... provided you use a sweeter dark rum as the drink's base.

I've certainly read the Punch article to which you're referring. Tried making an exemplary Corn & Oil for years until settling on a float of Cruzan B-S or Kraken.

Seale does not MAKE "Blackstrap" rum.

I tried and liked your combination of rums suggestion with a "black" rum float and have amended the recipe and image above accordingly. Many thanks for the nudge.
