I'm always up for a taste off :)

  1. Coruba Vs Blackwells in a Coconaut

IMO Coruba is the marginal winner, it has a slightly more 'something'. I'd be happy with either, both are good :)

  1. Blackwells Vs Appleton 8 Vs Myers in a Hurricane

IMO Appleton 8 or Blackwells are the marginal winners (one or the other) - different emphasis is given to the flavours in each. Myers doesn't make a bad Hurricane, it's just not as good as the other two. I'd be happy with any of them :)

IMO, the thing is... Coconaut & Hurricane are both drinks I really pull out when I've got guests i.e. someone says 'can you make a Pina Colada?' (so I have a Coconaut while the Coco Lopez is open) or someone says 'can I have a drink in one of those glasses?'.

When Im aiming to make a good drink but don't need to go all out with the top shelf rums, these drinks just 'work'. In this situation Blackwells is alright.

Anyway, Im not hoping to argue with or change Mr thePorpoise's mind, Im just presenting a different opinion... glad you enjoyed it in a Dark & Stormy, I've not tried it that way... yet :)
