Wine Enthusiast 85 points - The fruity bouquet foists plump aromas of sweetened coconut and bubble gum sugar onto the olfactory sense. Taste is all coconut with nary a trace of rum at first, then the midpalate turns rich, creamy, properly sweet. It ends as it began, with coconut flavor ruling the roost. - Paul (3/1/2004) - 85-89: Very Good/Recommended (Mar 2004)
3 STARS - Spirit Journal - The palate entry taste is all coconut with nary a trace of rum, the mid-palate is rich, creamy, properly sweet.

| When Sam Bronfman, President and CEO of Seagram’s drinks company, arrived in the Caribbean in the 1940s, he was mesmerized by the opportunities presented by spiced rum. He quickly set about becoming ”Rum King of the World” and established a network of trading relationships with distillers across the region, founding the Captain Morgan Rum Company in 1945.
When the Captain Morgan Rum Company subsequently purchased the Long Pond Distillery in Jamaica, Sam bought an age-old family recipe for spiced rum from the Levy Brothers, two Jamaican pharmacists from Kingston. That recipe would become the inspiration for Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum. |
