My buddy likes this tried it a few times, not my thing but will drink in a pinch, better than a lot of other things out there.
I had some friends over at my house, someone bought me this as a courtesy, actually a decent rum! For a Commercial over-rated brand, it's nice.

I was very surprised that I enjoyed a rum made by Captain Morgan. Was pleasantly surprised.

Very nice smooth rum Iโve had a bottle of this for a while now and itโs always a pleasure to bust out once and a while on the rocks !
As everyone has different tastes I find this one does not hit well with me, I find it too sweet and not what I am looking for in a sipping rum. Mind you it was given to me as a gift so I will be saving it for visitors.

I thought Private Stock will not be sweetened to all hell, but I was wrong. Well, I gave it a chance.

Meh. Average rum to my tastes. Pretty good as a mixer, but there are better, less expensive ones.

I bought this after reading a number of ratings here, and was not disappointed. Itโs quite sweet with a VERY pronounced vanilla smell complimented by the spices, which make it quite lovely. This would be the ultimate, delicious spike for eggnog at Christmastime. There is not a huge amount of complexity here but itโs Smooth and tasty all the same. I prefer it mixed with Coke Zero, but I have sipped it too. Definitely worth trying.

This is a good sipping rum but you can tell the flavors are very artificial. I am a relatively new rum drinker and thought this was great until I tried better aged rums. Would recommend for the new drinker but probably would not buy again.
This is my favourite rum to drink on ice. Difficult to get so I only save it for special occasions!
Love the vanilla and caramel flavours, very smooth and doesnโt burn the throat!

There are so many mixed reviews on this one, so I had to try the top rated one from The Captain since their 1671 was long gone before I could try it. As you can tell, I am now running out of rums to try that are easily available and priced sensibly. I knew before I plunked down $26 for this bottle that it was a sugar bomb with 45 grams per liter of added sugars and other things. God knows what, but it screams artificial. All I can taste is pepper, vanilla, and strange chemicals. This will give you one king hell of a hangover the next day if you drink more than one small glass. I am not about to try because I know what will happen based up my knowledge of added sugars. This one is just too much. But to new rum drinkers, it may just taste good because it takes a few years to graduate from ice cream and snow cones full of syrup.
To give you an idea, as of this writing, the top 12 most popular rums on this site all have 20 grams per liter of added sugar or more except for Havana Club 7 from Cuba that is not available in the USA. Interesting find! Most new rum drinkers are attracted to those sweet rums and sugar bombs. How does one break that cycle and work their way down to dry rums with only 0-9 gpl of added sugar.? Drink LOTS of this stuff in one night!!!! Suffer like hell the next day!!!! Then you will be looking up semi-dry rums (with only 10-19 gpl of added sugar) and most of those will not make you sick the next day.
Update 11 days later: As usual with any new rum, I only take one sample for the rating and then leave the bottle sit for months unless it is really good. This one had all the makings of eventually going down the drain despite my generous rating of 5. I poured some on the rocks and it is at least tolerable to drink. There are also a lot of rums that are worse than this one that I have ranked even lower in my "cabinet". Since this is the best from the Captain, I now change their name to Captain Crap! Of the two other mass producers of rum, both Bacardi and Cruzan each have 5 rums that I have rated better than this one.
Youngsters, do yourself a favor and bid anything by The Captain farewell and shove his ass out to sea without a paddle!!! It is now time for you to move on to MUCH better rums!
