Current bottle is Kracken, for sipping rum. Coffee breakfast rum is something like Morgans or Jerry Sailor.
Definitely Diplomatico, lovely stuff!
neat or with mixers? = if the latter what is good?
Depends entirely on what you're drinking 🤷♂️ With my rums I recommend depending on the bottling: Coke, ginger beer (Bundaberg or Old Jamaican are my preferences), lemonade, tonic (Fever Tree Mediterranean), apple juice, or pineapple juice. Or neat.
Most of the recommendations here are heavy on the sugar so there some dedicated rum mixers around (e.g. Stratford Soda) that aren't sweet, so making for a less sickly mixed drink.

Another vote for this. Their Morvenna is lovely.
Bare in mind booze is a matter of taste.
10 quid and a few pence gets a nice bottle in Lidl.
I like spiced rum - normally with coke as a mixer.
I like Cut Spice spiced rum quite a lot at the moment - the standard spiced rum at the top of the following linked page. Normally get it from Amazon for £20-£25 a bottle.
I did have one in Wetherspoons I quite liked but it’s more expensive - £35 ish a bottle. Bumbo original (not tried the XO version)
For a cheaper option the Dead Mans Fingers spiced rum is quite drinkable for £17 a bottle:
If it’s normal rum the Mount Gay is usually decent.

Wanted some for my wife for Christmas. But they won't get it here by the 24th nice to see a honest delivery date I will order in the new year.
Took a punt on the dark matter
@kit I appreciate forum rules state you can’t advertise your product etc but can you give us a clue on your brand so we can do our own “research” !?
Cheapest rum and mixed with lilt. Pop-tastic.
I’ll second Bumbo. Makes the best daiquiri I’ve ever tasted.
Tipo Tinto also very nice and E.S.A Field white rum is a very good sipper. All best enjoyed in the sunshine though.
After reading the comments about Diplomatico, I've decided to get a bottle.
@MrPottatoHead others have linked me (thanks! 🙂 ) but if you're needing a clue, it's a distillery that's between eightfold and tenfold 😉
Available for quicker delivery through the large online malt/whisky masters/exchangers.
I always come back to Kraken.
