I used to buy and use Coruba as my preferred dark rum, for 4 reasons:
- The Tiki Ti uses it.
I use Coruba with no hesitation. but this thread had me interested in discussing the Tiki Ti liquor cabinet. They use a lot of well liquor not for the sake of taste but for the sake of saving a few dollars. I've noticed their well rums change from castillo to Flor De Cana depending, in bourbon drinks they use ancient age, and even recipes which call for Lemon Hart Demerara are substituted with other cheaper rums. for instance, in the Zombie they use Dominican 151. After asking Mike Jr. about it, he said any drink can be made with Lemon Hart upon request but the only one they use it in is the Great White Shark (15$)...so as far as Coruba goes, I have a hunch its cheaper for them than myer's or appleton special. Which had me wondering why Jeff Berry told "Nine on the Town" that Tiki Ti ws the only place in the world you could order a zombie exactly as it was made at Don the Beachcomber, when he is sitting right there watching them pour it...it doesn't matter to me, the Tiki-Ti's drinks are still the best. Just funny.
