As you might expect of two childless adults with a tiki room in their house, Mr EA and I like to keep a bottle of rum on hand. Just in case we need a tiki drink. Actually, it would be more accurate to say we like to keep a couple of bottles of rum around. For our regular rums, we generally keep one or another of the Bacardi varieties around. (I support them because of their pro-bat stance.) We also like to keep Captain Morgan's spiced rum on hand, because it is one of the more flavorful rums around. (Also, Mr EA appreciates their pro-fictional-pirate stance.)
Anyway. This weekend we decided to try out Cruzan's Black Strap Rum just because it looked interesting. And we're extremely glad we did! It is a strongly flavored dark rum that is great either straight or as part of mixed drinks. There is a pronounced molasses flavor, as well as hints of smoke and pepper. Rum in general tastes pretty good, but this stuff is such a step above it makes you drink slowly and savor. If this sort of thing appeals to you, give it a try.
1 out of 1 yard-pirates agree - it's Aaarrrr restingly delicious!
