Originating in St. Croix, the Cruzan line of rums is both reasonable priced and a gift to your palate.
We started out by taking a look at Cruzan’s White Rum offering. Aged in American oak barrels for a minimum period of one year, and priced at a shockingly low $11.99 a bottle, this spirit does not disappoint.
With that first your palate is greeted with a forward hit of coconut that’s followed up by blissful sweet vanilla and follows through with a sweet finish.
Final Score 8.5/10
