Cruzan Aged Dark Rum feels like a warm breeze that’s been aged in oak. Born on the island of St. Croix, a place where rum isn't just a spirit, it's a legacy, this bottle carries over 250 years of craftsmanship in every pour. It’s not flashy or over-spiced. It’s balanced, mellow, and unmistakably Caribbean, the kind of rum that lets time do the talking.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like standing near a molasses barrel on a humid island morning, rich brown sugar, vanilla, and a whisper of toasted oak.
Palate: Smooth and gently warming, with flavors of toffee, caramel, and spiced banana bread. There’s a tropical fruit softness behind the richness that makes it dangerously sippable.
Finish: Medium-length, clean and mellow, a lingering touch of oak, burnt sugar, and just a trace of island spice.

Production Details:
Crafted at the Cruzan Distillery, this rum is aged in American oak barrels for up to four years, mellowing under the Caribbean sun. St. Croix’s pure water and tropical climate help develop a uniquely smooth profile. It’s column-distilled for clarity, then patiently aged to let the depth and complexity unfold naturally.

Perfect For:
Sunset cocktails. Slow nights on the balcony. Or upgrading your classic rum & coke into something with more soul. This is the bottle you reach for when you want something casual but considered.

Expert Notes:
Cruzan Aged Dark has earned praise for its exceptional smoothness and approachability. It’s a bartender’s favorite for dark rum cocktails, bold enough to stand out, smooth enough to sip neat.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ “Honestly? I wasn’t expecting this much character. It’s my new bar staple.”

Interesting Fact:
Cruzan has been producing rum on St. Croix since 1760 and every drop still comes from the same site. That makes it one of the oldest rum distilleries in the Caribbean still in operation.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy it neat or on the rocks to appreciate the full body. For cocktails, try it in a Dark & Stormy or an elevated Rum Old Fashioned. A splash of lime brightens its deeper notes beautifully.

Distillery Background:
The Cruzan Distillery, nestled in the U.S. Virgin Islands, is still family-run after eight generations. Surrounded by sugarcane fields and kissed by trade winds, it operates with the island’s rhythm, slow, steady, and deeply connected to its roots. Their philosophy? Make rum that’s as easygoing as the Caribbean, but never lacking in craftsmanship.
