Cruzan Mango Rum

Pros: Good fruit flavor and aftertaste

Cons: Not as versatile as regular light and dark rums

Pros: The mango flavour does come through.

Cons: A bit too sweet, and syrupy

Review: I enjoy rum. I enjoy sweet rum. I enjoy Meyers brand rum and will have a Cruzan Mango Rum if the former is not available. Cruzan Mango Rum a nice tasting smooth flavoured rum that I wouldn't refuse but it is a bit too sweet and syrupy for me...
