Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

I feel like Captain Morgan original is everyones first or second rum. It's nothing entirely special, nor does it carry any real complexity. It's a step above Bacardi and it goes down a hell of a lot easier. It's cheap and widely accessable. Decent for mixing but there are plenty of other mixing rums that will treat you better than the Cap.

This was my base line for some time. Bad straight, decent in mixes. Nothing special, but it hits with the burn. For an all night party with rum and coke it will cut it.

Nothing special when drinking neat but works nice enough with a mixer.

Tasty rum, very nice to mix with cola. Not something to drink straight.

Captain Morgan is a classic and is the benchmark against which any rum in a rum & Coke should be compared. It is not drinkable straight but mixes well.

It’s just so simple. A last resort for someone on a night out wanting some consistency okay spiced rum. Nothing special.

I always have a bottle of this rul at home for making a rum cola

Does what it says on the tin, 'cheap and cheerful'. Not the worst tasting but not the best, wont break the bank.
Has to be mixed

This not be a sippin' rum. Not unless you already be three sheets to the wind, you just don't care, or you gave up the ghost weeks ago. Aye, she smells nice. A little sweet, with a little vanilla, and the tiniest hint of oak. As taste goes, she's less sweet, but vanilla comes through more. Not pickin' up any other spices in this "spiced" rum. She be relatively smooth, but weak. Weak in flavor, and weak in body, like a swab on his first day at sea. Aye, there be better captains in this fleet, but this one? Be ready to pollute it up with any other libation you have on hand...

There is no reason why you should ever buy spiced rum. Add your own spices if you want spiced rum you don't know what the fuck they put in there.
There is also no reason why you should ever buy Captain Morgan or Bacardi.. There are so many options around the same price point that are way better, there is no reason for you to keep buying this garbage.

Stop following the crowd, and buy a good rum.
