Coruba

Coruba was established in 1889 as a Jamaican dark rum brand, drawing on the same rum-making tradition as J. Wray and Nephew, the Kingston company behind Appleton Estate. Jamaica has produced rum since the 1700s, and its heavier, funkier pot still style has long set it apart from the lighter rums of other islands. Coruba blends that traditional pot still character with rum from continuous column stills, aiming for a rounder, more balanced everyday dark rum.

After blending, the rum spends at least two years in American oak barrels before bottling, picking up colour and a touch of vanilla and toffee alongside the underlying molasses character. Today the brand sits alongside Wray and Nephew and Appleton Estate under Gruppo Campari. It is built to work hard behind the bar, whether that is stirred into cola from our mixers range, mixed into a Dark 'n' Stormy or poured simply over ice.
