Captain Morgan Rum

A Welsh privateer who terrorized the Spanish colonies of the Caribbean in the 1600s lent his name to one of the world's best-selling rum brands. Sir Henry Morgan lived a life that later became myth: pirate, plunderer, and eventually a respected lieutenant governor of Jamaica. When the brand launched in 1944, it inherited both the name and a good measure of the privateer's untamed, freedom-seeking spirit.
