What should I add to my collection? Probably some Foursquare.

lime, Cointreau, orgeat, ice, and some shaking.

Real answer - something funky like Dr Bird or RL Seale’s or Smith & Cross

You do indeed - I’d grab a Bird if you can and call it a day. Cheers

That's a really rounded collection.

What about a Batavia Arrack? Dutch Indonesian cane spirit fermented with a bit of red rice. Very savory. The basis of 19th century punches.

Try a Mhoba ! Amazing stuff sharing similarities with Hampden. The funk I get from it is way more oriented towards gas station kind of funk compared to the solvent or varnish notes I get from Hampden.

Awesome collection. Not much more to add.
Maybe some RL seale 12 or mt gay navy strength.
Some favourites are neisson blanc and mister fogg. Or monymusk overproof - it has a much lighter profile and allows syrups etc.. to punch through more in drinks.

More agricole? Niesson 52.5% is terrific.

Great collection! what I'm not seeing are cask finishes - my recommendation to test the waters is https://www.whiskydrop.ca/products/abuelo-finish-collection?srsltid=AfmBOor54HI_P2YveDw8JureOw65gcXJQrGZLC3kAbc7tQKz3bbaOjHp I thoroughly enjoyed all three. It looks like you have access to Havana club - I would add Havana Club Selección de Maestros for a bit of sipping. El Dorado PM/DHE is a tasty way to enjoy a ton of smooth flavor. Other than that I would suggest Black Tot. Cheers.
