I have a lot of shit rums for mixing in the house but this one has a special place.
I like to drink this one pure and as well is an a mix (if a feel like I need extra sweetness).

This is one of my standard bearers for a good ole fashioned rum and coke. Much smoother than its younger brother and equally obtainable, it is the definitive choice on an evening with friends. Easy to throw back and forget how many you have had.

For years I was drinking CM Private Stock as my go-to rum and, despite having expanded my taste horizons, I still enjoy it very much. It's smooth for a CM product and thankfully the added spices don't wreck the background flavour like they do in other mass market spiced products. Goes quite well in cola but neat is fine too. Now, why the heck don't they make it in a bigger bottle???

I'm not a huge fan of Captain Morgan rum, but this rum surprised me. This rum is highly underrated and can be found fairly readily at a low price.

Nice rum, not as good as the 1671 they used make, but similar.
Most would look down on captain spiced but I have to say this private stock was very surprising on how comparable it is to other more expensive brands Iβve had. Spice forward on the nose but very sweet with the vanilla on the draw but not to overbearing like you might expect. For the price you can really complain.

I am not a huge fan of Cap Morgan, as I have discovered many other rums that are simply better, but it was a good starting point. That said I do have a bottle of this on my shelf right now and I do enjoy it. It is far from my favorite rum, but it is sweet, though a little harsher than expected. It is a significant upgrade from any other captain morgan.

A good bourbon barrel aged rum. Great value for the price, mixed it really shows the hints of bourbon, almost tastes like a mix of rum and coke and a Bourbon and coke.

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.
