Cruzan Aged Dark Rum

Cruzan Aged Dark Rum is a blend of premium rums aged between two and four years in charred American oak ex-bourbon casks on the island of St. Croix. The aging imparts a warm amber color, buttery mouthfeel, and notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and sweet honey. A versatile, workhorse dark rum that excels in a classic Rum & Coke, a Dark & Stormy, or a traditional Planter's Punch.

The listed size options are 750 ml, 1.75 L. Choose the size and package combination you want before adding it to your order.

Try a small pour first, either neat or with a single cube, to decide how you want to use the rum. For a longer serve, add ice, ginger beer and a squeeze of lime. The mixer brings its own sweetness, so taste before adding syrup. Fresh lime provides a useful counterpoint and lets you adjust the drink a little at a time without committing to a complicated cocktail.

For a Daiquiri variation, shake 1 ounce of rum with half an ounce of fresh lime juice and a quarter-ounce of simple syrup over ice. Strain into a chilled glass and adjust the citrus or syrup to taste on the next pour. Different rum expressions change the character of this short recipe. Using the same proportions is a useful way to compare bottles while keeping the other ingredients consistent.
