This beats the hell out of Goslings for half the price. This will be in my next Dark & Stormy for sure. It is really quite good all by itself. Much smoother than Goslings with more complexity and less contrived sweetness. Better on ice than neat. Well done Cruzan. Good stuff here.

Haven't really found the dark rum of my dreams yet, but this one is the best I've had so far. Gosling's and Myers's are less interesting to me, for more money. Most likely has added sugar and/or vanilla, but I'm ok with that in this case. Great neat, has a sweet smoky vanilla/spice flavor, mild burn. Goes great with ginger beer, my favorite so far.

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.

I tried this rum and it was love at first taste. I was very surprised that it was not like the other dark rums, but had less "rum" (alcohol) flavors and more flavors from molasses that taste great on the rocks or mixed into Pepsi and certain other mixers. It's not for mixing in where a lighter rum flavor is needed (think pina coladas) because it is a bit on the heavy side, but if you like bold and flavorful, give it a shot. Or two.

The best way to evaluate dark rum is straight up. Unless you are paying a lot of money, most of them are tough to enjoy. Cruzan Black Strap is delicious with some ice, period. If you find it too strong, add a bit of water. It's the best.

Heavy Vanilla Notes. makes a good mixer for rum and cokes. too strong for anything else. but very cheap (15$ in my neck of the woods).

The nose is a very sweet almost syrupy aroma. Fortunately it's not nearly that sweet on the tounge. A bit of chared smokey flavor dominates. I had it neat but I would like to see how it works in a cocktail.

Tastes just like you would think. I had it on the rocks. It is definitely on the sweet side but the flavor is good and it goes down easy. I wouldn't buy a bottle, but it will do in a pinch.

Dark heavy rum. The molases teally comes through almost making it sweet like syrup. Very good. Smooth.

Is it very sweet? Yes. Does it have hints of maple syrup? Yes. Would many find this sacrilegious in a rum? Absolutely. Who care though. Very pleasurable and a lot of fun any way you want to imbibe. Yum yum.

Strong molasses flavour makes this rum irreplaceable when called for. A tad sweet and overwhelms when it is used as the main spirit in a drink.
