Cruzan Rum

[KJND]

I've only had the single barrel version of this rum which I though was pretty good. Local store is closing out the light and amber versions for a good price and wondering if they are worth picking up?

I've had the amber a number of times and like it - I think it's a great value as well.

Thanks Colt, is it drinkable on the rocks or would you consider it a mixer?

Either way looks like I'll pick some up and give them a try.

I love the stuff. Pretty much my go to mixing rum now. I usually pick up a bottle of the Aged and a bottle of the Black Strap and mix them 50/50 or so with some Coke and lime for my usual drink. It's great any time of the year, but I prefer it while out on the patio in the spring time smoking a nice CC. Man, I wish spring would hurry up and get to North Dakota. (Just got 10" of snow yesterday. Bah.)

Cheers,

Personally, I think you could drink it with a bit of ice if you like, but it's a nice mixer. Greg mentioned the Blackstrap, which I like as well - for me it's like drinking buttery molasses. I haven't tried mixing the two together, but it sounds like a great thing to try.

And I will

Sorry to say but glad it stayed a bit north...

Don't know that I saw the black strap but will look into that one as well.

If you like spiced rum they make some very nice spiced rum. I havent seen any bottles of it yet but I recently grabbed a couple of bottles of blackstrap and they had the 1oz bottles of spiced attached to the top and I really enjoyed it.

I'd take Zacapa over Cruzan Single Barrel any day.

I usually mix with Sailor Jerry, cause well, it's affordable and I don't feel bad mixing it.

Single barrel in the states is almost half the price of Zacapa. So you are in way different price categories. The cru an Single Barrel is a great change of pace rum as it is extremely woody depending on the batch and can vary a lot batch to batch.
