About this bottle
Cruzan Black Strap Rum is a dark & aged rum from US Virgin Islands in our spirits range. It is bottled at 40% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: The tasting room with aromas of pancake syrup, molasses, vanilla, and hints of fennel. On nosing, the spirit makes its youth known with a hefty dose of astringency that runs counter to the bakery invitation given moments earlier; on the palate: The rum enters with some astringency and spice, but is immediately attenuated by the sweet molasses. Again, there is ample pancake syrup, along with vanilla and caramel. Subsequent sips yield a bit of coffee, then citrus and spice, namely lemon zest and cardamom; finish: Despite being full of robust flavors, the bitter finish is thin and short.

Serving & pairing
White rum suits Daiquiris and Mojitos; aged rum deserves a neat pour. Pairs with jerk chicken, tropical fruit and banana desserts.
Does “dark rum” mean aged rum?
Not necessarily. Colour can come from oak ageing or from added caramel. Look for an age statement or the words “aged” or a year count; “Navy”, “Demerara” and “Jamaican” describe style and origin rather than age.
