However, it is derived from molasses-based rum and is produced in the US Virgin Islands. If you are going to call it a rum, this is going to be a flavored rum. There's no information regarding the age of rums used, but by the taste, it seems they were aged in American Oak casks. 01:15 Robe & Appearance In the glass, Captain Morgan spiced rum is a hazy-colored drink with fast and thin legs. It leaves a heavy residue in the hand that speaks to the additives used. Then again, that is to be expected as the whole purpose of its existence is that it is mixed and steeped with various herbs, spices, and likely sugar or molasses. 02:26 Nose This classic spiced rum has a prickly nose feel along with spices such as cinnamon, vanilla, and some coconut. The bouquet isn't intense, its diversity is more so limited, and it's not crazy complex. 02:46 Morgan Spiced Rum Tasting Notes At first taste, there is a very sweet primary flavor along with some savoriness. It opens up with a distinctive nutmeg and caramel. Once into the heart, those two fade to reveal clove, gingerbread, aniseed, and a rich, drying cinnamon finish. The finish is actually quite long. You get a good bit of spice that keeps on delivering, and it's quite pleasant. The complexity isn't insane and the texture is on the rough side. Overall, it's very youthful in flavor without much depth. 03:59 Presentation, Value & Ocassions This bottle has the classic label with Captain Morgan on the front. It's a nice design with the ship pressed into the glass at the back. There's no cork but instead a metal screw top. In terms of value for money, this generally costs $30 in the USA for a bottle of spiced rum, whereas in France or in Europe, you're looking at about 15 euros. It offers great value, it's inexpensive, and it's very easy to drink, neat, with ice, or as part of a cocktail. On occasions: this is far from a premium drink so it's best suited to really casual drinking or even at a cocktail bar. 04:53 Cocktails & Pairings I wouldn't really consider this for pairings. This isn't something that you have with a meal however you could certainly cook with it. As a cocktail ingredient, it works best in drinks like a Pina Colada or a Dark and Stormy, maybe even a Mojito. You could also potentially consider it for Mojito, but it's going to be a very, very different Mojito. You could include it as part of a Mule and enjoy it with some ginger ale. 06:05 Cigar Partners On cigars, I would suggest a nice balanced cigar that's not too heavy or too mild. For example, the Ashton Heritage is a good option. Avoid cigars such as a Connecticut cigar that can be very creamy. 06:57 Overall Experience If you go on any sort of dedicated run website, they are going to be less than appreciative of its characteristics and its flavor. But then again, it's never been made as a premium rum. It doesn't even try to be one. Mostly, Captain Morgan tries to evoke the sort of pirate style, but it's basically a spiced rum that you can enjoy as part of a cocktail. You can drink it neat, it's absolutely fine. It's not hard to drink whatsoever. Already tried Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold Rum or have any questions? Leave us a comment to let us know your thoughts!
