I'm looking for Coruba Dark or Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black online within the EU. Is there any place?

If no such place excists, what would you recommend instead of these?

Just went through 10 more online shops in the EU on this list: https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/coruba+dark+rum+jamaica/1/eu

However, NONE of the shops had the bottle in the picture! Instead it was either overproof Coruba or some lighter version (gold?).

JarkkoKoo,

If you're looking for the very dark Coruba, I think you have to cross the Atlantic.

If that's not an option buy yourself a Myers's Dark also from Jamaica.

yes, myers s available even here in croatia, we put in on top of our mai tai cocktail ...

we use another dark, the plantation original dark double aged, it s cheaper than myers s but less intense too ...

bar la moura,

Is The Plantation that cheap!

The Myers's Original Dark costs only around 16€/Liter in Germany.

yes, the myers s i pay 132 kn for a 0,70 L bottle, the plantation i pay 150 kn for a liter bottle so with a simple equation you know that a liter of myers s will be 188 kn

I did already catch the Plantation Original Dark (17,89 € / 1 litre in Germany) with my eye, so I think that'll be my choice for now. The Myers (16,89 € / 1 litre) might also be an option. It's like the Rolling Stones sing: You can't always get what you want.
