Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold is created by adding a secret mixture of spices and natural flavours to Caribbean rum, which is then aged in charred white oak barrels.

Owned by Diageo since 2001, the Captain Morgan brand dates back to 1944 when the Ontario-based Seagram Company - originally a producer of Canadian whisky - started selling rum under the name 'The Captain Morgan Rum Company'.  The brand is named after Captain Henry Morgan, a Welsh privateer and Governor of Jamaica who in the 1600s was licensed by the English Crown to raid Spanish settlements and shipping in the Americas, becoming hugely wealthy in the process.


World Rum Guide Review
Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold is a spiced rum which is best served mixed with cola. Aromas of vanilla and caramel are followed by strong flavours of vanilla and molasses, plus a hint of oak. The finish is sharp with more vanilla notes. - Carl Jackson, 2019
