Captain Morgan 1671

Not as much vanilla as Private Stock, but still a good/excessive amount. I add it to rum and coke, but will an equal amount of some other non-vanilla bomb rum.

I like the 1671. I feel it is quite smooth. Caramel and vanilla, with an almost chocolate finish. Have not mixed, but use for a sipper. Cool bottle also. On a side note, I also like the Captain Morgan Sherry Cask, which I feel is a bit smoother. All in all, I think 1671 is a good rum.

If you are considering this the private stock is much better and worth the price difference. Agree with the reviewer who noted cocoa notes. Vanilla does not come through as much and kind of clashes with coke instead of improving it. Have not found the right application for this yet, may mix better with ginger beer?

A good effort from the captain but it is still a rum for university students not a rum collectors choice to buy. Nice bottle.

No typically fan of spice rum however I saw this and I though I would give it a go.

Nose: The best part. Cocoa and spices.
Feel: You hardly know you are tasting rum...
Taste: because all you can taste is the sugar. You don't even need to put it with coke they have added quite enough already. Sickly.
Presentation: This is why a bought it. I though they were taking rum seriously and could make a nicely balanced spice rum where the goal was to flavour rather than mask.
Cost: 38CAD. Way way too much.
