Captain Morgan Spiced

Bedre en min forventning om en rom kun for unge brus hoveder

Det er denne rom til gengæld også fremragende til. Husker tilbage til mine unge dage, hvor Morgen og cola var min hof drik. Heldigvis bliver man klogere med tiden.

Strong vanilla flavor. Not much else in the way of complexity, but was enjoyable to drink sitting around a campfire on a long bikepacking adventure.

A cheap rum but i wouldn't drink it straight or on the rocks. Good for a night of heavy drinking, it is cheap. But not to sit down and enjoy a good rum.

Great as a mixer, with pepsi, ginger ale, or sprite, my go to favorite for mixing

As a cheap mixing rum Captain Morgan delivers. Personally It's good to try at least once, but otherwise I wouldn't bother.

It's not meant to be a premium rum, and it shows.

I was in Anticipation to open this bottle as it was my first Captain Morgan, having left it on the shelf as an economical choice, I thought "what could it hurt?". I was not entirely disappointed. Unbottling reveals a swarm to the senses, vanilla dominates all round and your first glimpses of the spices are revealed. (I will not cause boredom on details of aromas I caught but it was pleasant all round). Aroma carries nicely into flavouring with no oddities or surprises from nose to mouth, this is a strength of the rum I believe.
I tired very quickly of taste neat, so experimented with mixers. This is where this shines through and creates a drop with utility. At approx $40NZD, this would be an easy road introduction for first time spiced rum tasters. Personally, I avoid spiced rums finding their overused flavoring too in the face. I didn't mind the good Captain, although, I would not purchase again the experience too short lived and tiresome.

Well it beat's tea or ice water if those are your only options. One of the staple brands served on my SPI and anything on the island you can't go wrong with.

This is what you drink when you know you are too drunk to appreciate a sipping rum and it's time to move onto a long drink. A store cupboard emergency standby.

This like many people would say, is my first introduction to rum, really decent, sweet, likeable enough, although I've experienced better even though I wouldn't pass on it either.
