- Description
- Cruzan's Black Strap rum departs from traditional practice by using molasses—rather than blackstrap molasses—combined with added color and sweetness to achieve its signature dark profile. The palate is rich and approachable, with toffee, caramel, and subtle molasses character without harsh edges. At 40% ABV, it drinks smoothly and works well in rum-forward cocktails. Ideal for those seeking a softer, more accessible dark rum style.
