Cruzan, Appleton or Bacardi?

[Kangapong]

I'm preparing to place my Bon Voyage liquor order and need help deciding which Rum to buy. I will be mixing it with Coke Zero and occasionally coffee.

 

Which would you choose? Cruzan Light ($50), Appleton White ($60), Appleton Estate V/X ($60) or Bacardi Superior ($60) or ??

 

Thank you! :)

I prefer VX but its a spiced rum so it makes for a sweeter drink when mixed with soda. The DW hates it...

I ordered Appleton Estate V/X on my Bon Voyage order for my upcoming cruise. However I knew before hand that I like it best. The first time I had it was on a cruise so now each time I have it it reminds me of cruising.

 

If you havent tried any of them I would suggest to try them before you place your order. Bon Voyage has them priced twice as much as what they are normally priced at the local store.

[dockside31]

Appleton white next,

 

and sorry I am not familiar with Cruzan.

 

So it is Barcardi for my no 1 choice. Just my taste though. Enjoy!:)

I like Cruzan, finished off a huge bottle the other day. I also like to put a lime in my rum and cokes, especially a rum that is spiced, like Capt. Morgan.

I prefer Cruzan, too. Started drinking it a few years ago after tasting it at the free Liquor Tasting on the first night. We bought several bottles to take home that cruise and each cruise following.

+1 on the Appleton Estate V/X

[honeycruiser1]

Your'e mixing it with Coke Zero so I would go with Cruzan, If drinking straight appleton estate all the way.

[bruisin4cruisin]

Looks like you are getting 2 bottles, my friend.

I love Cruzan. It is a product of St. Croix ( I just learned this in St. Thomas this year).

 

Can anyone guess my favorite flavor????? ;)

You're right. I have tried Appleton Estate V/X in the past and loved it, but I have always wanted to try Cruzan.

 

Looks like I can't go wrong with a bottle of each. Cheers!

Can anyone tell me of the choices which ones are spiced? I'm not a spice fan.

[askimdog]

All my BV bottles are Gosling's Black Seal Rum...2 per cruise.

[boaterette]

Have not tried Appleton. Cruzan gives me a headache like you wouldn't believe. I would probably order the Bacardi.

[Doug910]

...Same here. Get a huge headache from Cruzan. I would go with Appleton if I was adding non-carbonated mixes (punch, juice, coffee) and Bacardi (or Capt. Morgan) if I was going with soda (Coke, Diet Coke). Those suggestions always worked for me. YMMV.

I just purchased Bacardi from Bon Voyage. I was going to buy the Cruzan because it was 10.00 cheaper and was told that all the rum was 60.00. So either they don't carry it anymore or they raised the price of the Cruzan to 60$ also.

Anyone know if they carry the flavored Cruzan rum? I love the Black Cherry mixed with diet gingerale.

[silvercrikhix]

Nada on the flavored Cruzan for Bon Voyage, sorry.

I do recall it in the inboard store, to bring home, though.

Go with the Appleton Estates V/X, good stuff and Caribbean product!

Just ordered a bottle two days ago- Cruzan is out of stock (do not know for how long) so I went with Bacardi (it comes in 1 liter bottles).

[tef43]

I would not ruin any decent rum by mixing it with sodapop, so go with what is cheapest.

They definitely have flavored cruzan on the ship store on board but I think they are more expensive there than if you buy it in port.

My fav is vanilla! Goes great with everything!! :-)

Is this a flavored rum? Is it good mixed with gingerale or sprite? Or is this one of those that is better with a juice?
