Captain Morgan White Rum, 70cl

Product Information

There is a hint of American white oak as well, indicating a charred wood component that is not overly prominent, but just ever so slightly detectable. It brings maturity and depth to the entire profile but soon fades into a crisp and minimalistic crescendo. Keeping in mind that this is 37.5% alcohol, the impact on the palate is very light. The first sips are fresh and clean with only minimal hints as to the molasses base material. Nevertheless, I can detect an alcoholic burn that feels a bit out of place, given the strength level below 40%. Then there’s the best-selling Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold, which is also matured in charred American white oak bourbon barrels. This aging process, alongside the blend of spices, lends the rum notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and dried fruit. The Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold is matured in charred American white oak bourbon barrels.

The first nose is fresh, clean and green with grassy undertones, but also an abundance of vanilla sweetness, coconut flakes and cream of coconut. Overall, the olfactory sensation is straightforward, crisp, and rather refreshing without being complex or overly intricate.Adding ice or a dash of water can mellow the intense alcohol flavor. And a slice of lime wouldn’t go amiss, either. This is where the Captain comes into his own. To create the smooth taste that he’s known the world over for, some of the finest Caribbean rums are carefully blended.

With some key learning under their belt, Diageo is now launching a full-on assault at Bacardi under the guise of a line extension.
