Cruzan Black Strap

At first the nose is introduced to the aroma of molasses. The mouth is complimented with a Rich not too sweet flavor of slightly burned sugar. The finish is bark with no bite. I love this Rum any season. It is truly unique. This is what rum must have looked and tasted like in the 17th and 18th centuries. I prefer this Rum very cold as it does something wonderful to the overall experience. Leave it in freezer and drink it neat .

A soon as you pour it, you can smell the coffee and chocolate notes. Almost like a Reisen candy. It has an oily finish with just a little burn, but leaves behind a bit of sweetness with a taste of toffee. Not a sipper, a bit on the sweet side, but would be good in a punch or mixed drink where you want the flavor to come out. Would make a great pina colada or bushwacker.

This run I only like as a mixed drink I've had it as a dark and stormy excellent my wife has made me three different mixed drinks with this rum all excellent

I got this to try because it caught my eye a while ago. I didn't really expect much, but I found a smooth sipping black liquid. I think it delivers its flavors very well. Begins with sweetness then moves on to a molasses like flavor, almost maple syrup like, then finishes with sweet syrup taste. I never noticed much of a burn, and it is a smooth taste for sipping. I believe this is much better than kracken, as the kracken is just too sweet vanilla flavor to sip on. I usually have a bit of Thomas tew then finish the night with this. If tew was available in my state I wouldn't need to do that though..........

THis is the firstbof many dark rums i have had. It was the only one i drank for years. I will say it will stay in my cabiner for years to come. On the other side of that coin. I have found that thiscrum is to sweet for my everchanging tastebuds.

I like Cruzan rums and Black Strap is a good choice in black rums. It has a strong molasses/brown sugar scent. Reasonably priced. For me it is my third choice in black rums, behind Captain Black and The Kracken. Use it as a mixer with Dr. Pepper instead of cola. It does foam a lot when mixed though. Nice to have around if you like blackstrap rum. Probably good in tropical mixers too. I will try that next.

My first try of this one. There is no way I'd mix it with anything sweet (Coke, ginger ale, etc) as it's very sweet itself. Very strong molasses flavor, it's a smooth rum - I decided to cut that heavy flavor with a bit of seltzer & enjoyed it very much.

Good rum for mixing smell a lot of molasses in this one plus is a very good value.

Smokey, flavorful, and sweet

Smager rigtig godt. Kraftig smag fra melasse og karamel. Kan godt anbefales som hyggemøde. Men nok ikke for alle da den for mange er for kraftig.
