Review: Cruzan Single Barrel Rum

Posted by Arctic Wolf on July 13, 2018

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.

Cruzan Single Barrel Rum is produced from a blend of vintage rums which have been aged up to 12 years. Once blended the vintage rums are then finished in a new oak barrel for about one year. Barrels are bottled individually with each bottle of rum coming from a single barrel. Because each new barrel will have different characteristics, each bottling will be a little different from the last; but, the general character of each bottling should be similar due to the overall blending process.

Here is a link to my full review:

Review: Cruzan Single Barrel Rum

“… A nice spicy tingle greeted my tongue as the rum entered my mouth. Oak disguised as citrus peel and the taste of butterscotch led the way with a gush of dried fruit mixed in. I also taste deeper notes of charred sugars which give an impression of treacle, and a slightly smoky sensation which one encounters when tasting a spirit with a sherry influence. Perhaps some Spanish oak was used in the aging barrels of a portion of the blend …”

Please enjoy my review which concludes with my recipe suggestion, El Padrino.

Chimo!

    I’m a big fan of Cruzan rums and have drunk my share of single barrel but I always found it had a little to much of a wood taste and the 2 year old dark is a bit light- the Estate Diamond 5 year old is not available in the South USA so I had a case flown in-now that is just enough wood taste-the best of the bunch-I guess it’s like the 3 bears thing—keep up the good work
