For my rum I tend toward those with less sugar adulteration. My go to rums for most mixed cocktail is Stade's gold or white. It is from Barbados which forbids sugar adulteration. I use both Stade's Rum Bond No.8 for gold; Stade's Rum Beach Vat No 1 white.
I am a rum purist and do not accept any sugar adulteration. I want the full flavour of the rum. I tend toward rums from Jamaica, Barbados, Martinique, or Haiti.
If you go to the internet and search rum sweetness chart you will find a somewhat easy to use chart on how much adulterated sugar is added to the rum. I use the one from Rum Revelations. It will help you in your search for less sweet rums.
