Cruzan 9 Spiced

Not bad at all. Sure there's better but there's a lot worse.

Tasted 3/6/22 at Laka Lono
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.

This is a lower proof rum, quite a pleasant experience with a flavor that is not overwhelming

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.

Nothing unusual, just decent spiced rum. If you like cruzan, you're good to go.

A good value. Worked great with cola and ice and a couple of friends on the dock.

I love the rich smell. The complex flavors are indeed present. I'm happy to sip on this straight or with ice.

A very good rum for the price. I was told this is the rum that is sold under the Kirkland label at Costco. Don't know if that is true but they do taste very similar and both are very good.

I wouldn't drink it straight, it's decent as a mixer. I would choose Morgan's Black over this.
