Coruba and Myers's are both great old-school Jamaican stalwarts. However, while the former is not that well known outside of Tiki/rum circles, Myers's has enjoyed much more notoriety, not least since it was (ostensibly) used in the culinary arena also. While both blends are distinctly separate and individual, Myers's suffers from waning popularity and (in the face of the current super-duper-hyper-premium rum market) has simply fallen out of favor with the popular crowd. Whenever you end up in a 1.75L bottle at your local Costco, you know you've reached new heights. Sadly, in the rum world, consensus becomes reality. A telling example of this was the fact that Disney (for donkey's years) used Meyer's as the standard pour; they now use Coruba - presumably, because it has more curb appeal with the current barroom cognoscenti.
