Cruzan Rum Distillery, St. Croix (December 30, 2011 visit - part of Sweeny's Safari Tours)
Sweeny's Safari Tours welcomed us to St. Croix - sightseeing and learning about St. Croix's history, cultural traditions, politics, botany, and more.
Our Island Tour started at the Pier in FREDERIKSTED and we headed to our first stop: The Cruzan Rum Distillery - producing the world's finest rum since 1650.
The Nelthropp family continues the tradition of producing this high quality rum using only the purest, natural ingredients and process. A visit to the distillery showed us how Cruzan Rum is made (altough due to the Holiday, note that the production was not in progress during our December 30th 2011 visit).
After the tour we were offered free samples at the Visitor's pavilion, and could buy the many varieties of rum and merchandise directly from the source!

Cruzan rum distillery tour on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
This is a tour of the Cruzan rum distillery on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands on March 6, 2018. We made an unscheduled stop in St. Croix on a Viking Cruises Caribbean cruise on account of weather and decided to make the most of it by taking this tour. Unlike Captain Morgan which forbids photos or videos, Cruzan feels they have nothing to hide and allow it. Will always drink Cruzan over Captain Morgan for this reason alone. Also, in addition to allowing photos and videos, this was a really nice tour which included not 1 but 2 decent samples of different rums. Highly recommend this tour. From everything I read before and certainly after taking it it seems way better than the Captain Morgan one and so we were flabbergasted that only 10 Viking people signed up for this one where over 90 signed up for Captain Morgan. I am positive we got a much better tour than they did because they really went into detail in this tour as to how the rum is made where Captain Morgan really does not--everything they do is a trade secret.
FYI, rum used to be made all over the Caribbean because the sugar was grown there and so it made economic sense to make the rum where transportation of the sugar would be at the lowest cost. Fast forward to 2018--sugar is no longer grown in the Caribbean. Jim Beam owns 50% of Cruzan we were told and get this, they now import the molasses (sugar) to make Cruzan from somewhere outside the Caribbean (the U.S. I think the tour guide said). I just cannot see how that makes economic sense from a transportation cost point of view. Really wanted to ask that question but didn't have chance to.

Parts of the Tour of the Cruzan Rum Factory on St. Croix
This is a just a few parts of the tour of the Cruzan Rum Factory on St. Croix. The tours cost about $8.00 per person and run every half hour (or so) and take about a half hour. Stay a while and don't show up after 3:00 PM because they close around 4:00 PM.
They are open Saturdays, sometimes.
At the end of the tour, you get a couple mixed drinks and some shots of rum thrown in for your trouble.
You can also buy good and inexpensive rum of all types and flavors. The best part is they package it up for you to take back to the States and a checked box of Cruzan rum does not count as a checked bag at the airport....
St. Croix African Roots Project
The St. Croix African Roots Project, a searchable database with more than 1.8 million entries from the Danish colonial period on the island, was officially launched Saturday, July 18, in Frederiksted, V.I. In the video, George Tyson, who headed the effort, describes the project, and Mary Roebuck, one of the data entry specialists, describe how she and her colleagues became attached to the people whose lives they were resurrecting through the old records. And V.I. Gov. John deJongh Jr., speaking at the launch ceremony, describes why the past is important to us today.

Fiddler crabs seen at the Rum Runners in Christiansted, St. Croix (December 30, 2011 visit)
While visiting Christiansted in St. Croix (Friday, December 30th 2011 - as part of an Island Tour with Sweeny's Safari Tours), we met those little creatures while having lunch at the Rum Runners.
For those that bother to look for them, fiddler crabs reward with their amusing behaviour: frantically feeding, squabbling and courting, all at the same time.
Fiddler crabs can change colours. Sometimes, they appear different at night and during the day. In some species, the males brighten up during mating season. This makes it challenging to identify the different species of fiddler crabs by their colours alone. The species are generally distinguished by the structure of their pincers rather than by colours alone.
Fiddler crabs cannot swim and prefer to breathe air. So at high tide, they hide in their burrows, plugging the entrance with a ball of sand to trap some air inside. However, they need water to keep their gill chambers wet as well as to process their food. They absorb water from the wet sand through hairs on their legs.

Cruzan Black Strap Rum Review
Cruzan Rum from St. Croix USVI is fantastic. Cruzan Black Strap Rum is almost like a dessert! It has a less-common flavor profile for a rum but is exceptional! It reminds me of eating a brownie with vanilla ice cream on top! I hope that you enjoy this rum review video and please watch my other rum reviews videos too! Please share this video with others and subscribe to the IrixGuy Adventure Channel ( Thanks and have a good day!
