Cruzan Aged Light Rum is a blend of rums aged one to four years in American oak casks—then treated to a filtration process that brings out the full-bodied taste. The light color resembles that of chardonnay, a distinctive indication of its aging. Exceptionally smooth, this rum offers a dry, clean taste with vanilla overtones and a pleasant finish. It’s smooth enough to sip neat, but shines as the base for most traditional cocktails. Try a refreshing Caipirissima by muddling lime wedges with one part simple syrup; add two parts Cruzan Aged Light Rum and ice. Based in St. Croix and operated by the Nelthropp family since the early 1800s, every bottle of Cruzan Rum captures the unique spirit of the island.
