Everyone's first rum and very 'run of the mill' nothing special but doesn't do anything wrong, or anything particularly right either. Wouldn't say no to a gifted bottle but I can always find a preferred one if I'm paying. I've had worse.

This was not only my first rum, but my first drink ever. It provided me with a great segway to other, better rums. While I now realize that this rum has far too much vanilla, it is still one of my favorites.

If you drink this straight you need help. None of the flavors come through straight. It tastes like a trash can smells unless mixed.
Many will say it's cheap but to me it's the best dark rum ever. So much flavor and smooth taste

Captain and Coke? Sure! That’s about it though. Ginger ale maybe...

Think people can be a bit snobby about this due to the name on the label. It is a fair rum without knocking your socks off, particularly given its price. It is more for mixing but does that job well.
Nothing special but far way from being the worst spiced rum on the market.

It’s been years since I’ve had the Original Captain Spiced and it’s actually better than I remembered. Of course I always drank it in coke at a bar, but it’s ok on its own. The nose has some caramel, Vanilla, and a hint of spice. The mouth is a mix between spice and sweet with vanilla dried fruits and caramel. Some say it will do in a pinch, I say it will do anytime. It’s not a high priced Rum, I’ve had others in this range that were better, but it’s not bad and you drink what you like.

Not a bad rum but nothing special. Only to be used as a mixer.

That definition of a 5 rating on this site is PERFECT for this. It is easy to consume, especially as a mixer. Even straight it doesn't suck. The limited spice is ok. Has a little vanilla going on. Tastes sweetened. Very thin. You would have to be in a bind to sip this but you could if necessary/. As my learned drinking buddy Phil says "I hate no rum"!

Captain Morgan really gave a lot of people their start and most pay nostalgia to it for that reason but as a rum its average at best. Usually priced around 16$ 750ml its price point is beaten by Cruzan Gold and Admiral Nelson's. Those 2 also trump C morgan in taste which is why I cant see this a staple all around rum anymore. Captain Morgan is a light brown rum which means its age isnt that high but who would think it was, after all this rum is production. Its like this, if there was a rum machine that spit out rum bacardi would given it 1 crank and C morgan (diego) gives it 2 cranks. Its a step up but still not that good. In the glass it smells like vanilla and alcohol and that it about it. Drinking it straight gives you a large blast of vanilla, sweetness from honey and a harshness of alcohol and a spiced tinge at the end. Not very complex in flavor so as a sipper you would missing out on a lot of life. In coke it gives you a rum in coke that is something you would expect from production rums. Vanilla extract hit and some sweetness with some alcohol lurking in the back and even then its fairly faint. My real problem with C morgan is for whatever reason after more than 1 rum and coke it starts tasting very bitter to the point were I switch to gin. Captain Morgan's biggest strength is you can find it anywhere, so even at wits end you still have some sort of okay rum at a bar.
