Captain Morgan Spiced Rum

At a dinner party at my friend's recently, I tried for the very first time Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. I'm not much of a drinker, and hardly touch spirits - but I have to say I was very impressed with this product.

In terms of the flavour, it is much more mellow than any other rum I have ever tried. To me, this actually has a flavour, rather than just tasting like neat alcohol. The spices are very noticeable and really make this product unique.

I have since bought a small bottle of this rum which I served when I had people over. We enjoyed it with lemonade and pineapple juice - but I'm sure there are plenty of other flavour combinations you can try.

At £12 for a small bottle, this is technically a premium product - but for me it still represents good value for the quality and the amount of servings we got from it.

I gave this four stars rather than five because even though its the mellowest I've found, its still a little strong for me. That being said, this is the only spirit I have tried that I like and will definitely buy it again for special occasions.

I have to say I was pretty disappointed by Captain Morgans Spiced Rum. I like dark rum, and hoped this would have that taste combined with some edgy spices - maybe ginger or even chilli. I mean, it ought to have a bit of bite - the sort of thing that pirates or Caribbean gun-runners would drink!

In fact, it tastes NOTHING like rum - it's just a rather bland, smooth, and - let's be honest - girly drink. Expensive? Well I paid 12 quid in Morrisons.

So, yeah, it's OK as far as it goes, but I won't be buying any more.

My fave drink of all time! Only with lemonade of course! I love to drink this when I am out. It tastes very nice and sometimes has a tangy after effect. It doesnt taste like any rum I have tried before. Only drink what you can handle as it is very strong.

The expense of this rum really annoys me, I cant find a deal anywhere though the taste is lovely and the spice dances on your tongue I'd call this a very... mellow should I say rum.

(Mellow rum) well recommended!

This drink was introduced to me by a friend, it is the best drink I have ever tasted and a great mixer with coke.

Captain Morgan Spiced is a lovely smooth rum, with that nice hint of spices. If you like rum, then this is a nice change from the normal white or dark rum.

It is a little expensive, and I would imagine if you had too many, it could easily put you off, but in moderation, it is a very pleasant drink, particular with coke (even if it is decaf coke)!!.
