Captain Morgan Spiced Gold Rum [700ML]

Captain Morgan is a brand of flavoured rums produced and owned by Diageo. The brand is named after the 17th-century Welsh privateer of the Caribbean and Governor of Jamaica, Sir Henry Morgan. He gained his notoriety by attacking the Spaniards who had set up shop in the Caribbean. He died at the age of 53 as the Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica. The slogan has been Live like the Captain since 2017 and the Captain Morgan character was created by award-winning artist Don Maltz.

The brand was founded by Seagram Company, originally a Canadian whisky produced based in Canada which started producing rum under the name Captain Morgan Rum Company in 1944 when Seagram’s CEO Samuel Bronfman purchased a distillery named Long Pond from the Jamaican government. In 2001, Seagram sold the Captain Morgan brand to Diageo, which still owns and operates the brand today. Diageo announced in 2008, that it would build and operate a new rum distillery on St. Croix, Virgin Islands beginning in 2010 and source from it beginning at the end of their supply contract in 2012.

Captain Morgan’s Rum is distilled from sugar cane. The combination of the type of yeasts employed for fermentation, distillation method, ageing conditions, and blending determines the characteristic flavour of rum. Made with molasses, water, mash and yeast, Captain Morgan Original Spiced rum is distilled in a continuous still. Once distilled, the clear spirit is aged in oak barrels for up to a year, adding a golden colour and character to the rum before the flavours and spices are added. The brand's taste is achieved through a proprietary recipe, which is blended into the rum mixture at the final stages of production, making use of spices indigenous to the Caribbean Islands.

Captain Morgan Spiced Gold Rum is created by adding a secret mixture of spices and natural flavours to Caribbean rum, which is then aged in charred white oak barrels. Flavours of rich vanilla, brown sugar, dried fruits, warming spices with hints of oak can be found in your bottle of Captain Morgan Spiced Gold Rum. Captain & Cola or more commonly known as Cuba Libre can be easily created with your very own bottle and cola.
