Says here that I am the 500th rather of this 🤷♂️ Tasted out of the handy- bottle at a fundraiser hosted bar that served no other rum. Yes, this is garbage, but at least I didn’t pay for it. Works in Coca-Cola. When in Rome…

Enjoyable if you set ‘the bar’ low but it’ll get you going if you’re not really ‘vibing’.

Its precisely what it says: It's A RUM with SPICE. Which rum? Well not a good one. I'd rather get a bottle of Malibu coco-rum-shit than a bottle of this.

Mix it up
More a hype than a decent rum
Nevertheless still not too bad in a pinch

Standard for mixing. Don’t even consider drinking neat

A very basic rum, low cost and low quality taste. There is a reason why most people use this for rum and coke.

Commercial spiced rums are really not my thing. Do yourself a service and make your own spiced rum from a more solid brand.

This rum isn't great but in a Cuba libre it's okay.

Solid for when you want a rum and coke at an unfamiliar bar

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold 35% (Jamaica)
Eye: Gold
Nose: Pretty forward smell of hard lemon drops, public toilet, industrial soap, faint vanilla, over ripe fermented honey dew melon and something like sour star fruit. Very light and thin impression. It also reeks of old fridge-damaged vegetables. There is also something that has a slight resemblance of light, cheap chocolate.
Mouth: Sugar and diluted eau-de-vie with a twist of lemon and artificial vanilla sugar. It is thin and unrefined with no trace of self-worth or dignity. This is the captain of a sinking ship in lukewarm salty water. For a second I thought I sensed cinnamon but that could be wishful thinking.
Reaction: I have had this in coke with ice before and have enjoyed hundreds of them. Now I wonder why? Well, I was young and stupid - just like this beverage right here. Maybe it is unfair to taste it as a sipping rum but at the same time, and in all fairness, a drink should be able to stand on its own I think. How else can I compare? Well, this may be the last I see of this horrible rum-like booze.
