i like a rum that has a strong smell or taste as i have very limited smell and taste mostdays and some days none at all, so this is another strong cheap to buy rum that i drink a lot of/

Not to my liking. Too sweet and artificial. Would not drink unless masked heavily in a cocktail. Edit - there is a clear Jamaican funk which is pleasant Revised to a 4

Unmistakably Jamaican, which I've come to enjoy.

It's similar to the basic Appleton signature blend, with perhaps a bit more of a molasses hint.

It's drinkable neat, and not what I'd call harsh. For a cheap bottle it hits above its weight, which makes it good value.

This and Appleton signature will be my go-to basic rums, for when I don't want to pay $10 more for the Appleton 8 year.

This was a wonderful step up from Bundy in my youth, many years ago. An easy drinkable mixing rum that offers a distinctive aroma and flavour that is enjoyable but not sort after. Recently had a glass to review and was surprised by the cloggy, viscous syrup feel of it. This is comparable to and belongs to the same category as Capt Morgans Dark. I would recommend you spend the extra couple of dollars and buy Havana Club whilst keeping in the budget category.

Not sure about this, drank it a lot in my youth with coke but now find it a bit syrupy, almost medicinal in flavour, think cough mixture with extras. I didn't rate it in my Dark & Stormies, just not enough raw rum flavour to work.

I know you shouldn’t expect much from this rum but it’s just so hard to drink.

The only time I will comfortably touch a bottle of Coruba is if I have had far too many drinks prior.

I mean it’s still rum.

Pretty good. Nothing wrong with it. While not a great rum, at least it’s not spiced; and it’ll definitely give you that heady, tropical rum sense of romance.

This Rum has been around for ages, It's an ok rum, but surpassed by many others in quality and taste. Still does the job for Punches and cocktails if you have nothing better at hand.

I grew up on this rum. Only mixes with Coke and not one to savour. However, it's smooth enough and good value.
