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!

Not so strong, a bit sweet on nose and palate great for mixing although I would also sip it... pleasant surprise from Captain Morgan!

De prime a bord la bouteille est différente de se que le capitaine nous ba habitué elle est bien carré avec de jolies impression
Le nez est bien sa sens un peu l'alcool la vanille est le fût de chêne
La couleur est très jolie brun assez foncé avec reflet jaunâtre
Au goût c'est bien sucré vanillé un peu boisé les épices sont pas très présente pas contre
Mais quand même pas mal

This, again, is only a mixer. That said, I feel like original Captain Morgan spiced rum makes for a cleaner cocktail.

You may think all Capt. Morgan’s rims require a sweetener (Coca Cola or a juice), but this rum is definitely more sophisticated (smooth). While I haven’t got the mouth to distinguish all the flavors, this rum is as smooth as some $40 dollar rums.

This is my go-to mid to low(er) cost rum.

It’s a sipper and a mixer. Try it.

Not a bad sipper, but still cheaper in taste. Great mixer to switch up the old capt and coke.

Very tasty sipper on ice. Smooth, fruity, touch of vanilla and maybe toffee.

This rum is strait vanilla. Not good on its own but tastes good as a mixer with coke. Probably wouldn’t buy again unless to give to friends to mix at a party.

This was my first "starter" before moving up. I have not had this in years and it is not a bad rum there are just better ones out there. It has a vanilla, coffee and cocoa taste but it is super dry. Has a little spice taste, like hot spice taste and that can take away from it. Overall not bad for mixing, but there are far better options for the price.

However, when compared to the rum admiralty its rank as captain is deserved. Don't get me wrong, this is a quality rum. Easy to drink too. I like sweet rums but this one might be edging into too sweet territory. Lacks the alcohol bite that very fine rums incorporate without losing smoothness or balance. I like it, but it simply cannot sail along side the elite rums out there.
