Dark and stormy - Even hammer can’t touch this.
Planter’s punch - 2 legit.
Neat - don’t.

Smells like a licorice shop.
Tastes like a Jamaican sound system.

Much love

P.S. the label on this says bottled in New Zealand from local and imported ingredients.
Jamaican Rum?
Maybe sort of but it no longer says 100% Jamaican rum. I’d like to know what our antipodean friends are adding to the mix to help ‘craft’ this rum......
I’ll be getting Meyer’s next time.

Update: I got the Meyers’ and put on a blind tasting of dark and stormies made with Meyers, Goslings and Coruba. When all was done we had a unanimous preference for the Coruba.

We make our dark and stormies at 60ml rum, 120ml ginger beer and a big squeeze of fresh lime.

...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.
