Old Label Coruba Rum

Hello everyone! I came across two bottles of Coruba that both sport different labels and was hoping to get more information on them. Does anyone know when these bottles were on the shelves? Production method compared to newest bottles? In my research I found that both use more pot still than the Coruba thats in production now but I wasn't able to find a ton of info.

I think the switch to the new label/formula was relatively recent, 90s/00s maybe? From what I saw, Jamaica still gets the old label/formula, though its not nearly as widespread as Appleton and J Wray. I've been told that adding a slug of Hamilton Pot Still to the new formula more or less brings it in line with the old formula, but I don't have any on hand to try.

That label is from at least the late 1990's.
