Review: Cruzan Watermelon Rum
Cruzan Watermelon Rum is a Limited Edition release that was announced in July. It has had a very limited presence as we just located a bottle last week. Cruzan currently features 15 flavored rums on their website. Watermelon is not one of them. In 1760 a sugar mill began crushing cane at the site of the Cruzan Rum Distillery on the island of St. Croix. The Nelthropp family built a distillery at the site in the early 1800’s. Today the eighth generation of the family still works at the distillery. Cruzan Watermelon is made from a rum base made from sugar cane molasses and tropical rainwater. The rum is distilled in a five column distillation process and aged in oak barrels. The rum is shipped in bulk at barrel proof to Florida where it is reduced to proof. Natural flavors are blended before bottling at 42 proof. Read more
