I've never had Kohala Bay so I cannot comment. Although I would caution against Plantation Original Dark as I find that to be very sweet and I suspect Kohala Bay was not an overly sweet rum. It can be deployed as a viable Kohala Bay alternative when mixed 1:1 with a rich dark rum (like Coruba or Plantation Dark or even El Dorado). My favorite is a 1:1 mix of Appleton Reserve and Xaymaca. It isn't as identical to KB as using Coruba, but tastes like a much higher quality, sippable version of it. [ Edited by: rangda 2018-11-30 12:14 ] [ Edited by: rangda 2018-11-30 12:16 ]
