von Rum is not normally a fan of heavily fruit flavored rums but this one deserves review. We were inspired to try this one by a cocktail from the Mai Tai Bar in Daytona Beach Florida on the beachfront at the Hilton Hotel.
The view was terrific as was the cocktail. One of the ingredients was Mango Rum and as Cruzan is the premium brand in this genre I assume this was the ingredient used.
This clear rum is 27.5% ABV which is about average or slightly above for a liqueur, which this actually is. To the nose you get a strong sense of ripe mango aroma. The taste is no disappointment on mango either. It is of very ripe sweet mango, certainly too cloying for sipping. As a flavoring for cocktails though it is excellent.
This rum is terrific in fruit based cocktails or just with fruit juice. For a tiki bar setting or any of your summertime cooler drinks Cruzan Mango Rum is an excellent choice.
For its kind I give it 4 of 5 cigars.
