Virgin Islands, U.S. | Aged | 40% ABV
Cruzan Single Barrel Rum begins as an assortment of aged rums, distilled in column stills and ranging in vintage up to 12 years. After blending, the rum rests in a new oak barrel for an additional year before bottling. Each bottle of Cruzan Single Barrel rum is poured from only one barrel, which may increase color variance from batch to batch.
Cruzan Single Barrel rum is produced by the Nelthropp Family in St. Croix. The name ""Cruzan"" is derived from island's native population - the “Crucians."

This is a very easy rum to drink with just enough sweetness and a decent mouthfeel. Would buy it again.

Definitely an approachable drink, might be good for those just getting into rum. You get a decent rum for the price ($25ish at TWM) in a fairly nice bottle too, I like that.
(Very) lightly fruity on the nose, a distinct vanilla note, some alcohol. Palate brings in a light sweetness, some wood notes, a bit of spice and caramel. Some warmth, no serious burn.
Short finish with a very mildly bitter note, hints of dark fruit, wood, and molasses. It's simple, not a ton going on, but nothing unpleasant either. Just a bit thin, I think it would benefit from a higher ABV. Sip it or mix it.

I love Cruzan Aged Dark Rum for mixed drinks. This is a bit less harsh, but I still would not want it to be exposed much more than that, so what’s the point? It’s fine, but that is all

Very thin. There's oak but little else. It takes a long time in the glass for it to develop.

I'm on a worldwide rum voyage so I try everything and just about anything I can get my hands on. This one is not bland but easy is a better word. There are some nice notes of nuts, caramel and oak but they just don't stand out. Probably a good rum for people just starting out on their voyage. A little overpriced for what I'm use to at the $40 range. I would've given this a 6 but it is easy to drink so it got a 7. Will not buy again but glad I went there! Definitly better than Bacardi if your fixing a cocktail.

Not my thing, but it is far from bad. Will use in cocktails until it is gone.

For the price, decent mixing for punch-like drinks, and reliable over ice.

Will buy again, for the money it is a good rum for most
Need to taste again for proper review but probably won't due to low rating. Tasted on 2/2017

I visited the distillery on St. Croix and fell in love with cruzan. Sadly not the rum but the place. Whem I tasted this rum in yhe atmosphere of St. Croix it tasted very good but when i returned to Denmark and tasted it again it was a different story. This rum is the most non sweet rum i have tasted. To me its a bit of a cleanser. Sorry Cruzan
