Cruzan Black Strap Rum

Very dark brown appearance, with uniform alcohol legs. Nose- oak and dark molasses. Taste- dark pancake syrup, with background oak. Light-to-medium body, and a rather quick, dry finish. RJT

So, describing the smell as “pancake syrup” is spot on. I don’t actually get anything else from smelling it. Just some rich, exotic, pancake syrup. Smell: 16/20 The first sip, it’s thin, it is sweet, that pancake syrup is present, but so is a rough ethanol bite, and then some baking spices and ginger. First sip: 27/30 Additional sips remind me of flat Coca Cola, really interesting, but I think it is best used as an ingredient in something mixed. Finish and additional sips: 23/25 I love the bottle, the label is nice, the cork is satisfying, and for only $15, this is amazing. 19/20 I keep 5 points for completely subjective assignment. 2/5 Total: 87/100

Taste like maple syrup, still have kick at end but still good

Sweet but not too sweet
