Cruzan Diamond Light Rum

The rum is very light in flavor and aroma. The scent comes forth with tropical fruit and molasses, with undertones of grassy funk. Upon sipping, there is a mild molasses and fruit note that has a bit of grass and chemical solvent flavor. As the solvent taste dies down, a bit of sweetness comes through with a wisp of wood. It ends off with the sweet molasses aspect dying down to leave it with a fruity, grassy, and woody finish. Overall, it tastes and has the mouthfeel as if it was very watered down. For the same price, there are a lot better of rums.

Typical f Cruzan, this is value priced but delivers big. More than just a mixer, this is perfectly satisfying sipped neat. Butter, vanilla, a little oakiness with more richness than you’d expect from a light rum. Compared to the flagship Cruzan light rum, this is considerably nicer.
