Captain Morgan Spiced

One of me first experience with rum. For me was very fine, but I did not know, how good rum should taste.. Beginners only or if your broke and or drunk. Mixer only. There is great marketing behind, but not taste.

Ok, I should admit that women love it as it is smooth and sweet, but this is not a rum. Tons of vanilla flavor, mixes well with Cola, but check your blood sugar next morning.

Acceptable mixed with coke, cheap and readily available. Terrible to sip on.

Great in root beer or coke or as a shot but not much else. More or less only tastes like vanilla, but still not repulsive.

It's a generic spiced rum, easily accessible. Not great but cheap as chips. Distingtive taste but not one I enjoy.

Artificial colour (no problem with that, it is not unusual in that range of quality).

Taste is the issue here. Much too sweet, toffee, artificial chocolate, cocoa and a bunch of other stuff that does not belong into rum. In fact, any sort of neutral spirit with aromas added would work just as well as rum as a basis for this sort of drink.

2/10, because this is not the worst spiced rum. But it is not a good one either.

My first “rum”, so maybe I’m soft. It’s really easy to use this as a mixer. I don’t think I’ve had as sugary as a rum since. But it’s got a nice flavor to mix with cola, which is where I would leave it.

What else to say? It is heavily flavoured like some kind of golden amber dessert drink with chocolate, caramel and vanilla. A little fake perhaps, but oh, so delicious.

Sport bar in Quebec has two sorts of CM: white and spiced.
So I'm drinking something spiced, not sure wether its rum or what.

There was a time when I thought this stuff was the be-all and end-all of rum, as unfortunately far too many do. Yes I was young, I was inexperienced and it was cheap. THANKFULLY there's been a lot of water gone under the bridge since then! CM Spiced is indeed, and remains to its shame, what those who know nothing about rum think of as rum. The only factor that allows this beverage to creep its nose minutely past the threshold of a '3' rating is the addition of the spices because, without that element it'd be bland, gasoline-like cat p**s. Only really fit for drowning in cola, this epitomizes the mass market product consumed by the masses who've never embarked on the journey of discovering proper rums. Nuff said.
