CRUZAN BLACK STRAP

The Cruzan Rum Company is located on the Island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. The economy is dependent to a large extent upon the Rum Industry as a major engine of their economic growth. All of the Cruzan Rums are produced using a modern five column distillation method which produces a light bodied rum, the quality of which can be tightly controlled by the five column distillation. The rum is then aged in once used American oak bourbon barrels. The Cruzan Black Strap Rum is a ‘navy style’ rum which is full of molasses flavour but which is perhaps a lighter bodied rum than one would find in a typical navy rum." "Black, blackstrap molasses-rum distilled from fermented molasses. Aged two years in used whisky and bourbon barrels. The sweet flavor and aroma of blackstrap molasses dominates the hearty character of this Navy style rum. Best suited for mixing, Cruzan Blackstrap Rum is a good addition to the bar for adding color to cocktails or topping tropical drinks."
