Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum is a globally recognized, medium-bodied spiced spirit drink. Although classified as a spiced spirit drink because its ABV is typically 35% in some markets (below the 37.5% required to be labeled as "rum" in the EU), it's widely understood and enjoyed as a spiced rum.

Description:

• It is a blend of Caribbean rums with a secret recipe of spices and natural flavors.
• A key characteristic is the addition of real Madagascar vanilla in the current formulation.
• It gains its richness and amber color from aging the rum in charred white oak barrels.
• It's known for its smooth and mixable nature.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Expect prominent notes of vanilla and cinnamon, along with hints of clove, dried fruit, and sometimes caramelized sugar, honey, and a touch of oak.
• Palate: The taste typically follows the aroma with a noticeable vanilla sweetness, brown sugar, and warming spices. Some detect flavors of Demerara sugar, smoky molasses, and a big hit of cloves and nutmeg.
• Finish: Generally described as medium-length with sweet spice notes lingering. It's often considered smooth, with a tolerable warmth.

How to Enjoy:

• Captain & Cola: This is the classic and highly recommended pairing. The spices in the rum blend perfectly with cola. Add a dash of lime for extra zest.
• Captain & Ginger Ale: Another popular and refreshing combination, often garnished with mint and lime.
• Neat or on the Rocks: Some enjoy it straight or with ice, appreciating the vanilla sweetness.
• Cocktails: It's a versatile base for various cocktails, adding a spicy and sweet depth. Examples include the Cranberry Mule and Spiced Mojito.

Awards and Recognition: While it might not consistently win top-tier spirit competitions aimed at premium rums, Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum has achieved significant commercial success and widespread popularity. It has received some recognition:

• Wine Enthusiast gave it a rating of 89 points, noting its pronounced vanilla scent and sweet caramel flavor, highlighting its mixability.
• It was recognized as the highest growth international rum brand in 2017.

Overall Impression: Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum is a smooth, sweet, and readily accessible spiced spirit drink. Its dominant vanilla and spice notes make it a crowd-pleaser and a go-to choice for easy-to-make and enjoyable mixed drinks, particularly the classic Captain and Cola. While some may find it lacking the depth of more premium rums, its consistent flavor profile and affordability have solidified its position as a leading spiced rum in North America and globally.
