Rums for espresso Old Fashioned

Gonna experiment with a rum old fashioned with a coffee element. Serving to guests so I want it interesting but approachable.

What rums do you think work well for an old fashioned with a hint of coffee?

Also do you think a coffee liqueur or a bit of espresso and Demerara syrup would do better?

Aged rum options I have:

Hamilton 86
Lemon Hart 151
Mount Gay Black Barrel
Old Brigand Black Label
Planteray Original Dark
Planteray OFTD
Hamilton West Indies blend
Hamilton Jamaican pot still
Appleton Signature
Pussers original
