Review: Captain Morgan Cherry Vanilla
Captain Morgan Cherry Vanilla was just released. This is not the worlds first cherry flavored rum, I’ve reviewed six already, but it is the Captains first. While not as famous and peanut butter and jelly, cherry and vanilla have several very successful marriages. These include Cherry Vanilla ice cream, Cherry Vanilla Coke, Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, Cherry Vanilla Burts Bee lip balm, and more recently Skatter Brain Dark Cherry Vanilla Whiskey. Captain Morgan Cherry Vanilla is made from premium Caribbean rum, spice, natural flavors, and certified color. The rum base is made from sugarcane molasses. It is distilled in St. Croix on a continuous still and aged in oak barrels for 1 year. Read more 
Review: Lola Belle Cherry Rum
Lola Belle Cherry Rum is named for a legendary burlesque dancer who adorned herself with cherries on stage. It is made with Caribbean rum and infused with dark maraschino cherries. Lola Belle Cherry Rum is a rum I have seen on many a liquor store shelf, but the $19.99 price and several options I felt at the time were better, prevented me from picking up a bottle. I purchased this bottle for $12.99. After finding the www.lolarum.com site no longer active, and Lola Belle no longer appearing on the Proximo webpage, I have concluded this rum is not longer produced. I still see it on liquor store shelves and I picked up my bottle yesterday. That said at some point supply will be limited. Read more

Cruzan Black Cherry rum was introduced in 2007. It is one of 15 rum flavors Cruzan creates with rum distilled in St. Croix with tropical rain water and high quality molasses.

Review: Malibu Cranberry Cherry Rum
Malibu Cranberry Cherry rum was introduced May 2011, It was the winner with 62% of the vote in a contest Malibu featured on their Facebook page allowing their fans to select their next rum flavor. It beat out Citrus and a Mint flavor. While you can still find Cranberry Cherry on some liquor store shelves you better act quick as it is no longer a featured flavor on the Malibu rum website. In an interesting twist Malibu released Sunshine, a citrus flavored rum in 2012. Malibu starts with molasses from the finest sugarcane and it is triple distilled at the West Indies Distillery in Barbados. Natural flavors are added in Canada where it is bottled. Read more
