Cruzan 9 Spiced

Affordable sipping rum. Cinnamon and Vanilla come seem to be the more dominant flavors with a peppery aftertaste. Good for on the rocks as well as with cola.
Value for money is 10/10.

This has become one of my favorites so far. Excellent for mixing or sipping. The only downfall is that it is not available in Canada.

This one has a unique nose and a delightful spice to it. sweet smooth and soft on its own due to 35% ABV it really lets the spice combo shine if you drink it neat. where this rum shines is with coke. good value for the money. my go too rum when i want a rum and coke. sweet and slight vanilla with some pepper and spice. might go well with dr pepper.

This rum has an amazing pleasing aroma to it. Mainly you will smell nutmeg and vanilla. It doesn't have that bad bite like other rums in this same price range. Here it is around $12 a bottle.
All of the Cruzan rums are pretty tasty. I think mixing this might be a bit on the sweet side if cola is used.
Well worth it if you like a nice spiced rum, sweet, and not a lot of bite. Honestly, you can't even smell the alcohol.

But that's not saying much, fakey vanilla and spices make this go fairly well in coke but not something I would sip. I got a couple bottles for under $5 with a rebate a couple years ago and honestly don't know if I would buy again at that price, unless Foursquare and Brinley's Gold shipwreck suddenly became unavailable. Even then I would probably just buy Sailor jerry.

Very good understated rum. Nice color with hints of vanilla and caramel. Sweet but not overpowering.

Perhaps the best way to sip this rum is to do so in the context of spiced rums, not the entire rum family.
Notes say: I really like this 35% spiced rum.

Vanilla at the forefront. Typical spiced rum. Cheers!

Tart spiced pomegranate zesty lemon. Seems more of a whiskey sour that is spiced

Tasted at Laka Lono on 1/26/22. Pours an orange color. Aroma of vanilla and tomato (?). Some tobacco. This might be the most benign spiced rum of all time. Perhaps a bit of finishing acrolein.
