Expert description

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold is a spiced Spirit Drink Rum, bottled at 35%.

Original Spiced Gold is composed of Caribbean rum with a closely guarded blend of spices and flavourings, typically drawing on vanilla, cinnamon, caramel and citrus. The result is a warm, lightly sweet profile that has made the product one of the most recognisable names in spiced rum worldwide.

The brand is named after Sir Henry Morgan, a Welsh privateer and later lieutenant governor of Jamaica in the 17th century, whose legacy has since become part of rum's folkloric world. Captain Morgan is today produced by the British spirits company Diageo.
