Coruba

Coruba is a rum brand steeped in tradition with over 120 years of history. It all began in 1889, when a Basel merchant developed a taste for rum during his travels to Jamaica. Impressed by the quality of Jamaican rum, he founded the ‘Compagnie Rhumière de Bâle’ in Basel to bring this special rum to Europe. The name ‘Coruba’ is derived from the company’s initials and quickly became synonymous with high-quality rum.

In 1929, the Rum Company Kingston was founded under the leadership of Rudolf Waeckerlin-Fiechter to ensure the quality of Jamaican rums directly on site. In the 1960s, due to political instability in Jamaica, the well-known Jamaican rum producer Wray & Nephew (known for the Appleton brand) took over the Coruba Rum Company. However, the production and blending of the rums remain in Basel to this day, where bottling for the European market also takes place.

Coruba offers a diverse range, including the well-known ‘Non-Plus-Ultra’ rum and the Prestige series featuring aged rums of 12, 18 and 25 years. These are gaining increasing international recognition. Also particularly noteworthy is the overproof variant at 74% ABV, which is used in many cocktails. Since 2020, the brand has expanded its portfolio with limited-edition single-cask vintage releases, which are finished in sherry casks and underline Coruba’s ambition to establish itself in the ultra-premium segment.

Coruba Carta Blanca Rum 0.7L
Coruba Carta Blanca Rum 0.7L
As is typical for rum from the Caribbean island, Coruba Carta Blanca is a particularly full-bodied and intensely flavorful rum. It was distilled by Wray & Nephew in Jamaica from the finest sugarcane molasses. There, it was also aged in oak barrels under a tropical climate, but only for a short time, unusual for a Jamaican rum. The Coruba Carta Blanca rum was filtered through charcoal, which gave it its crystal-clear distillate color. This made it a particularly young and correspondingly bold and unusual rum, still retaining the pure and unadulterated aromas of the sugarcane. The rum was then shipped to Switzerland, specifically to Basel, where it was blended. Fruity and floral aromas rise to the nose, with a hint of sweetness and coconut. This bouquet is almost identical on the palate. Overall, a beautiful interplay of floral notes and a pleasant sweetness with a touch of vanilla and coconut. The fruity and sweet nuances stand out in the finish. Coruba Carta Blanca is excellent enjoyed neat or on the rocks. However, its greatest strength clearly lies in mixed drinks.
