Smith & Cross Rum, 70 cl

Product Information

Like it says on the tin, amber colored rum from Puerto Rico, therefore a Spanish (or Cuban) style rum, such as Bacardi Gold or Don Q Añejo. Typically a relatively dry, column-distilled rum with some amount of aging. I typically substitute Cruzan Aged Amber rum, a Spanish-style rum from the US Virgin Islands. If you want to go up the ladder a little, try Ron del Barrilito Two Star. Smith and Cross is made with a blend of rums from Jamaica. The rums are blended and then flavored with a mix of spices, which gives it its characteristic flavor. The Smith and Cross distillery produces a wide range of rum products, including pot distilled rums, column distilled rums, and blended rums.

After aging rhum agricole blanc in a barrel for 3 years, the AOC says it can be labeled "vieux", or "old". These are generally smoother than their blanc counterparts while still retaining the characteristics that define an agricole rum and they're golden in color. They're excellent paired with a Jamaican rum in a Trader Vic's Mai Tai and really shine in a classic recipe from Donn Beach, the 3 Dots and a Dash. They're also very nice sipping rums.

It all depends on what you are looking for in a rum. If you are looking for a rum that is light and fruity, then Smith and Cross is not the right rum for you. However, if you are looking for a rum that has a lot of flavor and is a bit spicy, then Smith and Cross is definitely worth trying. What is a good drink to mix with rum?
