After spending a week doing high end whisky tasting this rum just seemed to come at just the right time. Lovely aroma. It just feels the room as your glass decants...No it's no Four Roses Single Barrel, but what is? So what does this rum taste like? Awesome. You get the sweet caramel and vanilla notes you expected from the Captain but there is SO much more here. The vanilla is almost muted by the fruity flavors creeping in. No alcohol burn at all and not even the slightest bitter bite in the finish. Don't waste this rum by mixing it. Just put an icecube in the glass and enjoy it. It really is that good.

Not the best you can get. Lots of hype from Captain Morgan about some of their rums. They are good and consistent and easy to find, but there are better out there.

It's the most suave iteration of the Captain that you'll ever meet .
Sails smooth by itself or with a dash of soda as well .
More Morgan . Less Bite .

If you turn your nose up at this because you don't like spiced rum, you have my utmost thanks. Found this delightful rum for a mere $12 on closeout and gave it a try. That was 3 bottles ago. Far too good for college students and way too much smoothness and flavor for snobs to understand.

Pleasantly surprised, for as cheap as it is, and with the captain Morgan name, this was very good

I genuinely enjoyed this rum. The sherry really did something to this. It has a great fruity aroma and rounded out with a smooth and mellow vanilla like smell. This transitions into flavor. It does get a bit sweet and well, the novelty wears off. It's for sipping, and in small quantities. It was definitely surprising, but it can get old.

Based upon my experiences with various Captain Morgan products the bar was set rather low. Expectations were not very high.

I must admit...

...it wasn't awful.

It's wasn't great either.

It did manage to go above the bar I set.

Barely.

At 35% ABV (70 proof) it is less potent than typical rums. It has a sweet aroma and a nice amber hue. The flavor is indeed sweet with obvious cherry flavor. I do detect a little oak undertones but question as to where it was indeed finished in oak casks or barrels. All it says on the bottle is "sherry oak finish" but doesn't specify as to how. Was in in casks or barrels or were sherry oak chips added to the rum? CM's website was no help in trying to determine that. Some internet research revealed others making this same question. This lack of transparency and semantics raises some questions.

This is a sweet rum. Even the finish is sweet. Too sweet for me but compared to other CM rums it's not so bad. I wouldn't recommend this as a sipping rum. It's definitely a mixing rum and would benefit being used in drinks calling for grenadine. However with all that said, there are many better spiced rums out there for the $20 USD price.

This may be a "limited edition" but really nor worth seeking out. At least it's not cloyingly sweet and it doesn't suck with a capital SUCK.
