Coruba Original

Okay, my palate is not as good as yours if their is such a subjective thing. I bought this rum on a cruise to Jamaica and thought it would pretty good. Well, I was surprised by its flavor. I did taste it while I was there, but it is much better now that I am home. Maybe it's the nostalgia of it, maybe not. I like it and it is a nine to me. I don't have a doctorate in tastology but I like this one if it matters to you.

Caramel notes with smooth molasses and cocoa finish.

This is my rum of choice full flavour and works brilliantly with Coke.
Quite sweet by personally i highly Recommend.

...you'll need a few bottles of this in your bar. This is a perfect example of a rum that was made to be mixed in good drinks because it blends in so well, but isn't delicious or complex enough to stand alone and be sipped neat. It's a perfect mixer.

Didn't know it was an NZ brand even after all these years. I should really add another point just for that. Lol. Coruba will always have a place in my heart & on my shelf since it's the rum I grew up on. I'd only ever tried a couple of other rums till about a year ago & always used Coruba as my scale of what rum should taste like. For it's price range I reckon it's a fairly decent & honest rum. It's not trying to hide anything or try to be something it's not. It says to me, I'm here, this is who I am, take it or leave it. It's no sipper, but I don't think it was intended to be.

Perfectly happy to drink this rum when I ask for a dark rum and coke/cocktail. Not hugely flavoursome, but nice enough for a decent night out on the town.

Very nice and smooth, full of molasses flavor.

Very strong dark fruit flavor
