However, as with all spirits, it all boils down to taste and economics at the end of the day. If I was a private individual, I'd use Appleton 12-year for my Mai-Tais, however, if I was a high-volume business or bartender/mixologist, I'd prefer to use Coruba dark; the cost difference is quite significant. As for personal taste, I prefer the taste of Coruba which I find to be sweeter and slightly more smokey than Appleton 12-year. Both products have their uses. Not sure if you've managed to try the new Coruba flavored expressions yet, but Coruba coconut is pretty darn good - better than Malibu (it's obvious competitor; both are 21%) which I now use as my baseline, go-to coconut rum: [ Edited by: RumScrummager 2016-09-28 14:56 ] [ Edited by: RumScrummager 2016-09-28 14:58 ]
