Like all spirits, rum has a high alcohol content. Legally, any rum sold in the UK must be at least 37.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). 1 That means 37.5 percent of the drink is pure alcohol - and if the ABV is higher, the percentage of alcohol is higher too. Method: Grab a glass, any glass. Fill it with plenty of ice. Now, add 50ml Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold. Fill again, this time with 150ml of lemonade. Squeeze in the lemon. Taste level 10 initiated. Drinking alcohol also causes at least seven types of cancer, including breast, bowel, mouth and throat cancers. 2 The risk of developing these types of cancer starts to increase even at low levels of drinking - so the less you drink, the more you reduce your risk. The legend of Captain Morgan began over 300 years ago. His infamous career included life as a buccaneer, Admiral of the Fleet and culminated in 1680 with his appointment as Governor General of Jamaica. At that time his interests turned to his sugar cane plantation and the perfection of a rum worthy to bear his name. The rich smooth flavour of Captain Morgan rum is enjoyed by anyone who seeks the true taste of the Caribbean.

Regularly drinking more than the low risk drinking guidelines increases your risk of serious health conditions including heart problems, high blood pressure and poor mental health. The superior quality of Captain Morgan is firstly owed to the rum's provenance, as the Captain is a premium blend of five rum marques from three different Caribbean countries, allowing for greater complexity of flavour. Then the rum is distilled partly using the traditional 'pot stilled' process resulting in greater quality and fuller flavour. Finally the rum is aged for at least two years in charred oak barrels before the Ron Maestro (master blender) performs his art in the secret blending of the finished liquid.
