Coruba Cigar Reserve 1989

Coruba is a long standing Jamaican rum name historically tied to Swiss bottling, and this Cigar Reserve pairs a 1989 vintage with twelve years in ex-bourbon casks. It sits at a quiet 40% and is bottled without added sugar.

No detailed notes accompany this bottling. A lighter styled aged Jamaican of this kind tends toward warm oak, vanilla, dried orange peel and a restrained tropical fruit rather than the explosive funk of high-ester pot still marques, the kind of mellow, gently spiced profile that sits well alongside tobacco. At 40% it is an undemanding sipper rather than a high-intensity collector's pour.
