"Opaque mahogany brown color. Aromas of molasses and caramel frosting follow through on a round, supple entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium -to-full body with butterscotch sauce, cedar, and fig notes. Finishes with sweet brown sugar, black licorice, wet charcoal and peppery spice fade. An interesting dark rum for cocktails." Silver Medal.

Medium bodied. Reminiscent of pear, baked dough, nuts, herbs. Compact texture. Has an initial sharp edge. Demonstrates vibrancy with a flinty, grainy sensation. A nice blend of light brown spice and delicate fruit flavor.

Description: Clear. Medium body. Medium sweetness. Reminiscent of perfume, papaya, pineapple flavors. Comments: Strong perfumey character. Silky, elegant texture. Delicate, tropical flavors linger in a mild finish.

"The ripe and beguiling cherry scent bouquet is strikingly kirsch-like. At entry, the taste is delicate with ripe cherry flavors, elegant and integrated; the delicious taste continues into the midpalate phase as the creamy texture coats the tongue in rich and genuine black cherry flavor. Finishes a touch metallic, but is still a smashing flavored rum." 90-95 pts.

"The wonderfully piquant bouquet of citrus pulp features lemon first, then orange pulp; aeration adds hints of lime and grapefruit. Palate entry is tart, intensely citrusy; by midpalate, the acidity subsides leaving behind juicy, tart flavors of orange and lemon. Finishes properly acidic and mouth-puckering. Another winner from the world’s foremost flavored rum producer, Cruzan." 90-95 pts.

"Deep golden amber color. Aromas of caramelized roasted nuts follow through on a soft, silky entry to a dryish medium body with a lively mineral dominated texture. Finishes with a touch of vanilla and mineral on the smooth, delicately spicy fade. A nice dark rum for mixing or sipping." Silver Medal.

"Deep amber color. Bold aromas of buttery caramel, warm Creme Anglaise, toasted nuts, and cherry cola follow through on a smooth, satiny entry to a dryish medium-full body with cascading waves of nutmeg, vanilla, leather, and cigar box and peppery spice flavors. Finishes with an extremely long, sensuous interplay of wood spice, dried fruits and praline. An amazingly smooth and refined aged rum." Platinum Medal.
