Coruba Original

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.

I enjoy this dark rum in many cocktails & it’s relatively cheap

Very nice as an everyday rum. Not too expensive and available everywhere here in NZ.

Very plain with a raw alcohol heat at the end - maybe some molasses in there. Good for mixing which is no good for me most of the time as I prefer neat. .

Tried with both cola and ginger beer , not a great deal of difference , not bad but thats about it !

This is a very dark rum, almost impenetrable by light when in the bottle. Caramel colour in the glass. The smell of the rum is sweet molasses and alcohol. Sipping straight assaults the senses with harsh alcohol burn... Although the sweet molasses still comes through. This is OK with Coke, hopefully better with Ginger Beer. Disappointing...

I tried to like this a couple times, but that strong Jamacan flavour was too much. A dark rum that coke can't subdue. Drinkable but not recommended.

Purchased a bottle of Jamaican Coruba Original rum , a rum I hadn’t notice in our local liquor stores. Being from Jamaica I expected this to be a dry rum with no additive but upon research learned that it contains caramel additive both for colouring and taste. This rum is distilled from molasses which is evident from the first sip. Not a bad taste but the sweetness does not appear to be from a nature process like the majority of Barbados or Jamaican rums. Nice diversion from my regular dry rums but definitely not what I would consider a sipping rum.

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.

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.
