Coruba White
37.5% ABV
The Coruba White sugar cane mash reaches its fierce fermentation in Jamaica’s tropical climate. The slow distillation process in small, traditional pot stills subsequently develops a fresh yet subtly sweet note, allowing the distillate to recover the flavor and aroma substances contained in the mash. After being matured, the rum is charcoal filtered, resulting in the smooth, crystal-clear Coruba.
Aroma & scent
Fresh with light citrus nuances.
Taste
Strong but mild, with a subtle sweetness and fresh citrus fruit notes. Its crisp bouquet is reminiscent of apple and vanilla.
Use
Long drinks such as Mojitos.

If it says seven years on the bottle then at least seven years will be contained inside, at least when it comes to Jamaican rum. The age of the youngest distillate always appears on the label. Rum producers from the rest of the world calculate the age statement based on the average age of the distillates used, which means that significantly younger essences end up being used for the rum.

THE HAECKY FAMILY AND CORUBA
RUM HAVE BEEN BOUND TOGETHER
BY TRADITION SINCE 1889
RUM HAVE BEEN BOUND TOGETHER
BY TRADITION SINCE 1889
It all began towards the late 19th century with a traveling merchant from Basel who kept a lookout for delicacies across the globe. One day, a ship brought him to faraway Jamaica, where he discovered a distillate called rum. After his first glass, one thing was certain: He had to bring this rum to Europe. And so, equipped with several samples, he returned home, where he would found the Compagnie Rhumière de Bâle - the Basel Rum Company - in 1889. The company’s initials were ultimately used for the Coruba brand name.
The Rum Company Kingston was founded in 1929 to allow top-quality resources to be selected and to ensure that the entire rum production process takes place on-site in Jamaica.
To this day, the product is blended and filled in Basel.
ABOUT US
What’s the connection between Basel and Jamaica? Coruba, of course. To this day, the rum is produced in our cellars in Reinach, Basel with a great deal of passion and patience.
It goes without saying that only the highest quality resources are good enough for our Coruba rum, and we find these in the aforementioned Caribbean island state. The distillates for the Coruba rum mature under the very best of conditions in Jamaica, where they receive their unmistakable taste. Once in Switzerland, our experienced Head of Production carefully selects the best distillates and adds them to our distinctive Coruba rum during the blending process in our cellars. The production of our rum involves plenty of time and skill, which is why our cellars contain various wooden barrels old and new where the individual distillates are matured once more and are given their unique touch as a limited edition.
After being filled, each bottle is given the individual and skillful “raffia treatment” by hand, receiving the raffia finish so typical of Coruba.
We are proud to say: Distilled and matured in Jamaica. Selected and blended in Basel. Since 1889.
