I don't actually drink that much anymore but on a recent night out, I was reminded of just how much I like Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum.
Captain Morgan Sir Henry Morgan, better known as Captain Morgan was born in Wales in 1635 and was a successful buccaneer. In 1674 he was knighted by King Charles II and in 1690, he became the governor of Jamaica. In 1944 the Seagram Company began producing rum under the name of Captain Morgan Rum Company.
Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum Spiced rum is very different to the usual white and dark rum. To be honest, I don't really enjoy the taste of alcohol (although I enjoy the effects) and I find that some of the other rums taste far too alcoholic for me. However, Spiced Rum is so drinkable as you really can't taste the alcohol content, just a nice mix of rum and spices, with an underlying hint of vanilla. It is sweet, but not overly so as the spices help to tone down the sweetness. Spiced rum is a rich amber in colour and combines golden rum from throughout the Caribbean. According to the Captain Morgan website Spiced Rum is "aged to be mellow and enhanced with unique fruit flavours and spices (said to be cinnamon and cloves) and then enhanced with a hint of vanilla." Each bottle of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum contains 35% alcohol but like I already said, you really wouldn't notice this.
Cost I usually buy my Spiced Rum from Tesco's and here a 70cl bottle will set you back £13.98 which I think is fairly average for a bottle of spirits.
How To Drink It I guess if you wanted to you could drink Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum neat although this is not how I prefer to drink it. The spicy flavour actually makes Spiced Rum a highly versatile product as it can be mixed with a selection of mixers to create a totally unique drink.
Spiced Rum and Coke This is probably the most common mix of drink associated with Spiced Rum. You basically have a short glass with 1 (or 2, depending how strong you want it to be) shot of spiced rum. Makes a lovely spicy refreshing drink.
Cuban This is also a very popular way of drinking Spiced Rum. You have one shot of spiced rum, one shot of lime cordial and fill the rest of the glass with coke. This is my all time favourite drink as the lime makes this drink extra sweet but the spice from the spiced rum stops it being too sweet that it becomes unpleasant! Some pubs/bars serve this version with a slice of lime instead of the shot or lime cordial. Either works really well although I probably prefer a fresh slice of lime.
White Cuban This is exactly the same as the above drink, except that you have it with lemonade instead of coke. I have tried this drink and have to admit that I much prefer this product with coke. Although I find a White Cuban drinkable, I just feel that coke compliments the taste of the Spiced Rum better than lemonade does.
Puban This version of drink contains 1 shot of spiced rum, a shot of blackcurrant cordial and the rest of the glass is filled with coke. I also really like this drink and the blackcurrant surprisingly doesn't make the drink any sweeter, it actually brings out the spicy flavour.
Spiced Rum can also be used to make a selection of yummy cocktails, just type Spiced Rum cocktails into Google and you will get hundreds of recipe ideas.
Availability I have found that Spiced Rum is sold in all my local off licenses and large stores such as Tesco. Sainsbury and Asda. It is also sold in all my local pubs and I can quite happily ask for a Cuban and the bar staff will know what I am talking about. However, my boyfriend and I recently went out in London for an evening and when I asked the bar man for a Cuban, he has no idea what I was talking about so I listed the ingredients and he had never even heard of Spiced Rum which to be honest, really surprised me. So on the whole, I know that Spiced Rum is readily available in shops, pub and clubs in Kent but further a field, I am not 100% sure if people will know about this product.
Summary As you've guessed, I would 100% recommend this product. If you don't really enjoy the taste of alcohol and are looking for something that is smooth to drink, then I would certainly give this product a try. I like the fact that you can mix it with a whole number of mixers and create a brand new drink that tastes delicious. I think that this product offers fairly good value for money as its no more expensive that other brands of alcohol. The one downside is that it doesn't appear to be available all over the country which is a real shame.
Advantages: Tasty and sweet nectar Disadvantages: the captain gets a bit fruity after a few glasses
Hey landlubbers!!!!!! Captain Escobar here, fresh from sailing the seven seas plundering and pillaging my scurvy enemies (or fresh from working some godawful hours, leaving me no time for ciao). Just got into port and thought I would share my thoughts on an Uber drink from an old pal of mine, Captain Morgan.
Now I was off the coast of morocco when I saw the familiar site of old Captain Morgans Galleon, now I had not realised that the old man had ... ...our clever marketing. Captain Morgan made a mint and all the other sailors wanted more of his delicious drink. An evil pirate named LAMINGTON LAMB decided that he wuld get in on this game and make his own god darned rum drink. Now Captain Morgan was not gonna be beaten by lamington so decided to tinker with his beloved recipe by adding cinammon and cloves, thus creating MORGANS SPICED, a full flavoured 'spicy' rum that had the normal rum taste but ...

Advantages: Mixes well. Light Flavour. Aromatic Disadvantages: Not many unless you dislike rum
...is when I first "discovered" Captain Morgan's Original Spiced Rum.
Although I claim no great expertise about rums I understand it is made by distilling fermented molasses and ageing them in barrels for periods between 1 and 30 years. In the case of Captain Morgan's Original Special Rum,cinnamon and cloves are added to the product. This rum is a medium-bodied,light flavoured,drink, that is aromatic- if you dont like cinnamon you may not like this ... ...Collada which comprises 1 oz Captain Morgan's Rum, 6 oz of pilha collada mix and crushed ice. In conclusion although I am no great lover of rum I do rate Captain Morgan's Original Spiced rum quite highly so its 4 stars out of 4 from me ! Thanks for reading ! ...

Advantages: Top notch booze up Disadvantages: None
...35% volume and made by Captain Morgan(howdy to you) Distillers is the fastest growing spirit in the UK off trade and between 18-25 years old in Scotland is the No.1 spirit. Coming in 35cl, 70cl and 1ltr bottles costing around £7.29, £12.99 and £15.99 respectively it may be slightly dearer than ordinary rum but in my opinion is certainly worth it.
Also drinking it doesn't seem to affected me. No major hangovers, no being sick in taxis and I could ... ...that's how the cows do come home every Saturday night.

...rum and had always associated Captain Morgans with the black label rum but a friend persuaded me - arm twisted round my back, honestly!!! - and I found that it had a lovely flavour. I had it first with cola and although it was nice I felt the cola covered the true flavour so the next one I had with lemonade with a slice of lemon added. This was much nicer so I think I had a few more that night. One thing that struck me was not the pavement - its ... ...interested in the heritage of Captain Morgan he was a very successful 17th buccaneer who was born in Wales in 1635.
He was knighted by King Charles II in 1674 and became governor of Jamaica in 1680. I guess this is when he found his liking for rum. He died in 1688 but as the story goes his legend lives on. You can find out more about Captain Morgan and his travels on the captainmorgan.com website and it is very interesting to also read about how ...

...you haven't, then at least I've succeeded in that, because, even if you've tried the classic Captain Morgan's rum and disliked it, trying a spiced rum is a very different taste indeed, and as I said, add a dash of cola if you're not too sure about liking it straight. ...
