It's time: we're back with the second entry in our series to determine the best daiquiri rums available on the market, the Rumcast Daiquiri Bracket!

This time, we're breaking down the "modern" portion of the bracket. Compared to the "classic daiquiri" rums in round one, these rums are typically more flavor-forward, and often composed of both pot and column still rums from multiple countries. Some of them also feature aged (and unfiltered) components.

From heavy favorites like Probitas, to overlooked gems like Worthy Park Silver, to unavoidable bar staples like Planteray 3 Stars, to newcomers like Grander Cane Harvest, we put them all to the test to see what stood out and what disappointed.

Here's the full rum list:

Probitas / Veritas, the collaboration between Foursquare Distillery and Hampden Estate

Holmes Cay Fiji Single Blended Rum (the people's choice vote winner!)

Hamilton Breezeway Blend

Planteray 3 Stars

Worthy Park Silver

Banter White Rum
