Cruzan Black Strap Rum is a bold, deeply aromatic dark rum crafted in the U.S. Virgin Islands and inspired by classic navy-style spirits. Made with black strap molasses, known for its powerful depth and concentrated flavor, this rum delivers richness and character far beyond standard dark rum expressions. Its signature dark color, intense molasses core, and warm baking-spice notes make it a favorite behind the bar and a secret weapon for tropical cocktails.

Built on Cruzan’s long-standing rum-making tradition, Black Strap offers the balance of an aged spirit with the punchy edge of black strap sweetness. Whether layered as a floater on a Mai Tai, stirred into a Dark ’n’ Stormy, or used to add dimension to a Jungle Bird, this rum transforms any drink into a richer, more flavorful experience.
