I stock up at Lucky Drink Shop on Monivong, as they have a good selection and reasonable prices. For rum you might want to try Diplomatico (from Venezuela).
Another hole in the wall place is Che Deth Drink Shop on St 13 by Kandal market - very cheap prices on liquor and beer (and a case of soda water is even a few dollars cheaper than the grocery store).
Lucky supermarket, Super Duper, and even Thai Huot all have a disappointing selection - of all of the supermarkets Bayon has the most choices. There's also a liquor area at Aeon, but pricey.
The shop OML recommends is definitely worth a visit as well for the quality selection. If you want to go all out on a rum, I recommend the Zacapa XO (around $100, from Guatemala), or for a good middle of the road the Flor de Caña 18 (or even the 12 is very good, from Nicaragua, $30ish). The Flor de Caña 12 and 18 are both better than the Zacapa 23, IMHO, but the Zacapa XO is wonderful.
