Cruzan Light

Yes, there are plenty of outstanding light rums out there, but for the price, Cruzan aged light is great for parties where price and volume are essential. A mellow finish makes it the anti-Bacardi. It is unassuming and allows flavors to blend well without overpowering them. The price point makes it hard to pass up for large parties.

Dependable, not expensive and won't taint a drink with an odd aftertaste. I liked it, but nothing impressive about it.

This is a great choice for mixing in any tropical fruit drink, in a Cuba Libre or in a basic mojito, and avoids the naphthalene qualities of most white rums, such as the ubiquitous but horrendous Bacardi "Superior." Any bar or restaurant could do well by making this their well rum. Not really a sipper but it is great in just about any basic tropical cocktail and at a great price. Just a nice all-around inexpensive rum. Try touching this off with a little bit of Mount Gay Black Barrel for a pleasing combination taste, particularly in a mojito.

I've had a couple decent white rums for mixing, but this one so far (Aug. 2016) is my go-to rum for daiquiris and mojitos. It provides an excellent taste, without any off flavors. It's not citrusy, more nutty, with a little bit strong alcohol burn. It's okay straight, but I wouldn't quite call it an entry-level sipper. I'll definitely be keeping this around provided the importer keeps bringing it in.

Had this in a lot of mixed drinks on our honeymoon. Definitely a good change up from the standard white rum

I like my spiced and aged rums the best but this is my go to when needing a clear rum for cocktails.

huge alcohol burn up front then a watery note and oak on the back end but only slight would go well mixed with juice or soda i think

Good for Mojitos but otherwise prefer darker rums for mixing with cola or for pina coladas. I think this is smoother than Bacardi or Don Q.

Clear. Has a little bite up front. You get a little vanilla and oak tones. It's a good column stilled lightly aged white rum. Perfect for mixed drinks

Very similar to Bacardi white rum, which I personally can't stand. I call it industrial grade rum that has no relation to the real thing. Cruzan Light is a bit better, but best used in a pinch or when the budget is limited!
