Cruzan Single Barrel Aged Rum

Very light molasses, lots of vanilla. Needs a cube, flavors are too tight to drink neat. Incredible sipping rum considering the price point.

Vanilla, and notes of leather, Smokey

Like Bacardi 8

I enjoyed Cruzan Aged so I wanted to try this "single barrel". It is aged stated 5+ yrs and cost me $30. The nose is sweet and wonderful and the taste really brings it. It has a nice medium oily viscosity. Very flavorful with a healthy amount of barrel flavor and not too sweet. I would swear this was at least a 90 proof because of how flavorful it is, with heat to match (not just 80). This is a big step up from Cruzan Aged, but at twice the price it had better be. I am no rum connoisseur, but I enjoyed this - it is "whiskeylike".
