I’ve come across a new flavored rum that really strikes my summer fancy; It is a guava rum concocted by the award-winning folks over at Cruzan.  The liquor (which I believe premiered last summer) has really climbed the ranks among the company’s already-impressive line of flavored rums.

You will be blown away by how much it tastes like the real deal.  Not only is Cruzan the first company to launch a guava flavored spirit, it may have achieved perfection with its first shot.

As you can see, the bottle says that the rum is made “with natural guava flavor.”  Not sure what that means exactly, though I do know that the rum is made from distilled molasses as oppose to a combination of molasses and sugar cane.  Cruzan Guava is 26% alcohol by volume (ABV), which is light for rum but not necessarily light in general.

There are so many possibilities with Cruzan Guava Rum.  The cheapest price I can find for a 750 mL bottle is $10.99 through Crown Wine & Spirits.  Sweet!
