I haven't been able to try Kohala Bay but I can get Coruba very easily here in middle Tennessee, thankfully. I can compare Coruba to the Smith & Cross/ El Dorado 12 mix. Coruba is heavy on the molasses and brown sugar with a nice amount of funk. It tastes almost cheap but in a good way, if that makes sense. The SC/ED12 mix is complex, rich, funky in a sophisticated way from the S&C. Coruba almost punches through a bit more with its heavier molasses flavor but the mix definitely stands out in cocktail. Both are great, Coruba is just obviously much cheaper. I have been mixing Hamilton pot still black and Appleton reserve 1:1. A lot of people on here seem to find the Hamilton too funky but I love it as long as it's mixed with something milder.

Perfect description! Thank you. Today I made:

5 parts Appleton Reserve Blend
1 part Plantation OFTD
1 part Hamilton Black Pot Still Rum

Cant wait to try...
