Cruzan Single Barrel Rum
Cruzan Single Barrel was named World's Best Rum at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition twice — in 2000 and 2010 — and it remains the top of the range from a distillery better known for its bar-well bottles. The Nelthropp family has distilled on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands for 250 years, eight generations, and Single Barrel is their flagship: a blend of rums aged five to twelve years in used oak, then re-barreled into new American oak for additional aging and finishing, bottled at 40% ABV. The Fat Rum Pirate found it the brand's high-end product, clean and uncluttered in presentation, and — helped by the Virgin Islands' US tax subsidies that keep Cruzan's prices low — remarkably affordable for what's in the bottle. Rum Ratings' drinkers rank it the best Cruzan makes, the yardstick the Hurricane Proof is measured against. Expect a golden-amber pour with a nose of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak from the new-barrel finish, a soft tropical fruit note, and a whisper of the Cruzan house lightness, opening into a smooth, rounded, gently sweet palate of butterscotch, oak, and baking spice, finishing medium-long and clean. Honest note: this is a light, Spanish-style, column-still rum polished with oak — elegant rather than funky, and at 40% built for easy sipping rather than enthusiast intensity. For a Rum Old Fashioned, a very good Daiquiri, or neat over one cube, it's the best value in aged Virgin Islands rum.
