Myers's is a strong flavor. Nothing wrong with that, but can over emphasize the rum in a drink. When I am low on Demerara, I'll add a bit of Myers's along with my VX for a bit of kick of flavor that approximates the Demerara better. Of course, I like probably most of you, LOVE the dark rum flavor. When I smell my cocktail and that scent, it IS the thing I am after. Just says Tiki bar. So, whtever flies your kite. I have used Coruba. Only to mix. I sip VX straight very often. Coruba, no.
