Captain Morgan White Rum, 70cl

Product Information

Because of the lower alcohol content, this rum makes for a trusted combination with zesty, invigorating cigars. Alternatively, creating a contrast with a meaty, dark wrapper, offering some sweetness and leather notes, will work very well. The first nose is fresh, clean and green with grassy undertones, but also an abundance of vanilla sweetness, coconut flakes and cream of coconut. Following distillation, the rum is aged in charred white oak barrels before the different rums are blended to create the range of rum variants—spiced rum, coconut rum, fruit-infused rum—that Captain Morgan’s has become famous for.

While the locals of Caribbean islands like Jamaica were squeezing out the sweet sugar cane juices to create molasses, fermenting, distilling and aging to create dark rum, those in Cuba and Puerto Rico were keeping their liquid clear through a very short period of aging after distillation. The result was a refreshing tasting white rum with a subtle and sweet taste. This is a very affordable bottle. It’s perfectly suitable for a pool party in summer when you’re hanging out with your best friends and just need a simple, easy uncomplicated mixing rum. There’s not much to be said in terms of Captain Morgan White’s color, obviously. The viscosity is medium, with heavy legs running down the side of the glass rather swiftly. I’m pretty sure there’s quite a bit of sugar, hence the viscous nature. Captain Morgan White Rum’s Nose A drink designed for adventure—to be passed between you and your crewmates in the scoundrelly sea dog spirit—Captain Morgan has made a splash in the industry with its range of spiced and flavored rums. Some of this liquid will then get its rich colour and flavour by being aged in charred white oak barrels. 5.

Alcohol is created by adding yeast and water to the molasses. The yeast is always carefully chosen to ensure the right taste profile and aroma of the final rum. 3. Distillation I paired this rum with Davidoff’s Dominicana, which features vintage tobaccos from the 2014 crop. It brings a lot of complexity and the rum acts simply as a blank sheet underneath, almost like a flavor enhancer without contributing all too much by itself. After a stint in Puerto Rico, today all Captain Morgan production takes place in the US Virgin Islands.

That alone will give the experience more length, complexity and depth. Overall, the olfactory sensation is straightforward, crisp, and rather refreshing without being complex or overly intricate. Adding ice or a dash of water can mellow the intense alcohol flavor. And a slice of lime wouldn’t go amiss, either.

Shortly thereafter, Diageo, who traditionally hasn’t competed in the white rum space, quietly got their feet wet with a little white rum brand called Naked Turtle, which was available in just a few markets. With some key learning under their belt, Diageo is now launching a full-on assault at Bacardi under the guise of a line extension. Captain Morgan White Rum isn’t just an extension for the Captain Morgan line, it is the brand’s future, and we may see a day when Captain Morgan Spiced Rum is as much as an also-ran as Bacardi’s Oakheart. Sir Henry Morgan was a Welshman and admiral in the British Royal Navy. He set sail for the West Indies in the 17th century where he was tasked with protecting British colonial interests. Then there’s the best-selling Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold, which is also matured in charred American white oak bourbon barrels. This aging process, alongside the blend of spices, lends the rum notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and dried fruit. The Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold is matured in charred American white oak bourbon barrels. Keeping in mind that this is 37.5% alcohol, the impact on the palate is very light. The first sips are fresh and clean with only minimal hints as to the molasses base material. Nevertheless, I can detect an alcoholic burn that feels a bit out of place, given the strength level below 40%.This is where the Captain comes into his own. To create the smooth taste that he’s known the world over for, some of the finest Caribbean rums are carefully blended.

That instantly recognizable Captain Morgan logo—the Captain Hook look-a-like with his roguish grin? It’s the work of award-winning American artist Don Maitz, and no doubt played its part in establishing the brand as a fun-loving party favorite. There is a hint of American white oak as well, indicating a charred wood component that is not overly prominent, but just ever so slightly detectable. It brings maturity and depth to the entire profile but soon fades into a crisp and minimalistic crescendo. With its spicy flavor, smooth texture, and the way it pairs so well with other drinks, it’s no surprise that Captain Morgan was the second most popular liquor brand in the US in 2014. And, in 2018, the brand became Britain’s favorite rum, surpassing the spirit’s other big-name player, Bacardi.

The Pina Colada needs little introduction. It’s a world-favorite and all-time classic, born in Puerto Rico. Cool and creamy, it’s got all the tropical flavors you would want from a drink that is basically a holiday in a glass. After that comes distillation, which essentially involves purifying the liquid by heating and condensing it in column stills. Captain Morgan uses column stills rather than pot stills because it’s better at removing impurities. This makes it a lighter drink, and the company can then use spices and barrel aging to create a more nuanced flavor profile. One of the most popular rum brands in the world, Captain Morgan and its boozy buccaneer mascot are instantly identifiable around the world, and for many a household name. It is soon met by a nuance of green, unripe banana, which has a funkier, ester-heavy smell, almost reminiscent of a typical Jamaican rum. The second layer reveals a darker, richer caramel, with roasted coconut flesh. The juices are squeezed from the sugar cane to create a by-product called molasses. 2. Fermentation
