Cruzan Single Barrel

I had to go all the way to Las Vegas to get a bottle of this , It was one of the first "fine" rums i ever had. I did have Cruzan white back in 1975 and it was not good. They've come a long way.

Great rum, think it should rate higher than a 7. Reasonable price too.

Nice smooth rum

A good straight up rum at a good price.

Pretty good

My go-to rum back in the days. I like the older bottle design much better. This rum is great in flavor. Over-priced for the rums in this price category.

Produced from a blend of vintage rums which have been aged up to 12 years ( not entirely single barrel ;))

Decent rum

A nice sipping rum that is easily available in the PA stores. A nice change of pace to have.

From the label on back:

Truly the Cruzan flagship. Cruzan Single Barrel Rum is a medium-to-full-bodied blend of vintage rums aged from 5 to 12 years—then aged in “new” oak casks for approximately one additional year—and sold in individually numbered bottles.

A true single barrel liquor comes from one barrel that has been aged the entire time, not a blend that has been aged one year - but then rum in general is pretty fast and loose with labelling.

Not a bad rum but nothing outstanding, decent flavor but too much wood for my preference. From what I have heard, not in the same class as the "Estate Diamond" it replaced. Yet another victim of Fortune Brands' takeover.
