Expert description

Captain Morgan Dark Jamaica is a Rum, blended from selected Caribbean rums and matured in heavily charred oak casks for at least two years, bottled at 40%.

The brand takes its name from the Welsh privateer Henry Morgan, who made a career at sea in the 17th century and later became governor of Jamaica. The rum is a secret blend of fine Caribbean rums, which after distillation matures in heavily charred oak casks, giving it its characteristic dark colour and deep flavour.
