Molasses lovers and cocktail makers, this one's built for you. It pours near-black and lands thick, almost syrupy, with burnt sugar, dark chocolate and black licorice piling on. One member calls it "molasses for days," and that's the whole story — intense, a little bitter, with some tar and burnt-tire on the edges. Great in a Corn'n'Oil or Dark & Stormy, less so sipped alone.

The look inside the bottle

How does Cruzan Blackstrap taste?

From community reviews · summarized with AI

Thick, intense molasses bomb for mixing Most love it for mixing — huge molasses, thick body, dark chocolate. A few find it too bitter or harsh neat, and one taster found it downright off-putting. Character over subtlety.

Wildly surprising! Looks very dark, with a heavy molasses smell. Thicker than most Rums, but very enjoyable! If you like Molasses, Carmel and Black Licorice, this is for you. I think it is the perfect balance of sweetness without over doing it. Huge fan! My favorite from Cruzan

Tastes like a burning tire extinguished in maple syrup. Sorry, the emperor has no clothes.

Engine oil or pure molasses in the glass from the color, really extremely thick and heavy in consistency almost like cough syrup or malt beer. extremely molasses-heavy and intense... you have to stand on it but should be one of the best mix rums ever, which I will still test! 😅 Top PLV for 40€ a liter. Absolute secret weapon for Corn'n'Oil! and Dark & Stormy 💯

Very special. Lots of molasses and dark spice. Lacks a bit of power.

Super thick molasses. Caramel, roast, dark chocolate. Some asfalt or burning tire. Dark brown pour here. Finish is still burnt molasses, toffee. Maybe treacle or something. Sampled this at the distillery. It was the most fun of the bunch I had.
