You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.211.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Cruzan Rum''' (((IPAc-en|ˈ|k|r|uː|ʒ|ən)) ((respell|KROO|zhən))) is a [[rum]] producer in [[Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands]] owned by [[Beam Suntory]]. Founded in 1760, it claims the distinction of being "the most honored rum distillery in the world." For eight generations, and through various changes in corporate ownership, it has been managed by the Nelthropp family. <ref>((cite book |last1=Mindar |first1=Barbara |last2=Mindar |first2=Ken|title=500 Caribbean Rum Recipes |date=2008 |publisher=Distrib2U |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gYhevgUf8bsC&pg=PT17 ))</ref>

==Background==
The distillery is also the largest supplier of American private and distributor label rum.  Cruzan Rum also makes a pure cane distillate alcohol (in 189-[[Alcohol proof|proof]]), which can be found for sale in the medicine sections of many grocery stores in the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Cruzan is one of two rum distilleries which, due to their place in American history, are part of the [[American Whiskey Trail]].

Cruzan rum is made similar to a traditional Cuban style that produces an exceptionally clean, and lighter bodied rum. Although Cruzan rums generally have had mixed success at international [[spirit ratings]] competitions, the single-barrel has performed extremely well. Cruzan's most notable showing was from 2009 raters at the Beverage Testing Institute who gave it a 96 (out of 100).  Proof66 rates the single-barrel amongst the Top 20 rums in the world.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.proof66.com/best-rum/top-rated-best-rum.html |title=Proof66.com Top 20 Rums |access-date=2012-10-19 |archive-date=2012-10-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121002222439/http://www.proof66.com/best-rum/top-rated-best-rum.html |url-status=dead ))</ref>
