One of my favourites, tastes great with ice. Nice aroma, very smooth easy to drink. One of Captain Morgan’s finest spiced rums.

For being a Captain Morgan product, I was truly expecting just a tad bit higher quality then their regular captain morgan you'd fine at a casual bar. Needless to say I was pleasantly suprised. It was rather smooth and very flavorfull. Really easy to still pick up on their well known spice blend, but didn't have that previous purchase their other products have. The sweeter notes really kick in here and it's a pleasantly smooth experiance. Would for sure recommend getting this and I would think about getting it again in the future.

Encouraged by many positive comments, stating mostly that Private Stock is 'underrated', I decided to give it a go - unfortunately I must have missed what others see in this spirit, that makes it worth recommendation.
It is definitely different from other products of CM brand, in a positive way. You can smell and taste and actual rum, despite being spiced. However, it is build upon an overwhelming sweetness/vanilla; first sip was a pleasant surprise, however couple of sips later the whole experience turned into failure, when I realized I would not be able to try another glass. It's like you want to feel the rum itself, but vanilla keeps squeezing your stomach saying 'not this time, amigo'.
I don't think I will buy another bottle and definitely I do not recommend it to anyone.

This rum is unique for party time, I like this rum in contrast that I "hate" all Captains rums, because they are without soul. If you are also not fun of basic Captains rum, please try this one, you will be nice surprised, I recommend it.

Private Stock will obliterate everything you thought you knew about Captain Morgan.
This aged spiced rum carries notes of sweet molasses and dark chocolate complimented by a cinnamon clove-like spice finish. It has some heat as to be expected from a spiced/aged rum But nothing too unbearable. I would recommend large mold ice. Sipping neat gets a little too sweet with this one.
For the price it's a great introduction to the world of sipping rums.

Sweet, but tasty. Lots of brown sugar on the nose, and smooth.
This is a great mixing spiced rum and does ok on the rocks

By far, my favorite rum! Every few months I make sure to grab another top-shelf brand and have yet to find anything as smooth, spicy, and perfectly sweet as Private Stock. Reading the other reviews, it almost seems like people simply refuse to rate this highly because it's not aged (and expensive), and Captain is known for mixing... stop letting the money you spend influence your opinion of something. No, I'm not 18 and just started drinking, and I'm well aware of how people like to make claims of "complexity" in flavors to justify the high price tags... I also enjoy a nice robust cigar from time to time with some nice brandy or cognac, so I get the draw to certain really strong developed flavors.
But I also understand the psychology behind giving a product a higher (or lower) rating based on the price tag of the item, and I think that's what's going on here... There are some aged rums that have average ratings at 9 or higher, with their less-aged counterparts scored one point lower. the truth is, it's rare to find a single point of difference in aging something 10 more years. Sure, more age can make it smoother and a little more refined, but in all my personal taste testing I've rarely found something that costs twice as much that was actually 10% better... Really old rum that tastes like crap, is just "really old rum that tastes like crap" that you just spent a lot of money on and feel the need to justify the expense. This is GREAT rum, and it's affordable. Excellent for sipping neat, or on the rocks... for something a bit different, put it in your snifter and light it on fire to heat it up a bit! (maybe 10 seconds).
All that said, I am well aware that individual taste preference is a matter of qualia. My point is... This is by far the smoothest, best tasting top-shelf rum I've had to date (out of about 20 diff top-shelf options). don;t let "price" influence your review.
