It seems Ed Hamilton would corroborate this as he states on his website, " Following the acquisition of Myers’s by Diageo that product lost its character. Similarly, Coruba contains more column still rum that it did five years ago and lost much of its appeal to the mixology community."

I have found the Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black Rum to be a good substitute for what Coruba used to be.
