Brown rum distilled from molasses. A blend of rums aged 5 to 12 years in used whisky and bourbon barrels.; The special blend of aged rums is married and then aged again in a new charred barrel from six to nine months. The additional time in a new barrel gives Cruzan Single Barrel Rum more flavor than would be possible aging in used barrels. The smoky oak, dark fruit and nut flavors are reminiscent of a fine Cognac in character and style.; Bottled at 40% alcohol by volume.; Gary Nelthropp, president and master distiller at Cruzan talks about Cruzan Single Barrel Rum.
