Cruzan Rum Island Reserve Extra Aged 13 years

The Island Reserve 13 Year Old is one of St Croix’s greatest treasures. An incredibly rich blend of three exceptional rums that have been aged for 13, 16 and and 20 years in ex-bourbon barrels, this should ideally be sipped and savored with friends.

Cruzan Rum is dropping its oldest aged rum and its first Island Reserve expression, a 13 year old blend. It’s a proper stunner that will appeal to any bourbon drinker. Working well neat or in a cocktail, it’s a limited release from this distillery on the Caribbean island of Saint Croix, and it packs layers of flavor into each pour.

An early taste of Island Reserve 13 year old—and each individual component—with Cruzan manager Cole McCreary, who assembled the blend. The aim, according to McCreary, is to express the rum in the best way possible, though the Kentucky native also noted that “creating something bourbon drinkers could sip on and enjoy” was part of the consideration.

The final blend is composed of three bourbon barrel-aged components of different ages: a 13 year old (48%), 16 year old (22%), and 20 year old (30%). This ratio bested 17 other variations, where McCreary toyed with incorporating an 8 year into the blend.

Sipping each component, the 13 year old within the blend is cloyingly saccharine, especially on the nose and in the front of the palate. Typical tropical notes shine here, heavy honey, a little caramel, some banana, and cherry. It’s a sweet, straightforward, simple sip, vanishing off your palate as quickly as it arrives
