The downside of this is that beyond the candy of these spices, it takes a real expert to taste anything else: try as I might, I could not discern more than butterscotch, vanilla and caramel and some very faint traces of what may have been orange. It is bottled at 40% alcohol by volume and fortunately for me, the Diageo Marketing Team here in Alberta provided me a the sample bottle of this rum for my review: In the Bottle 4. To me this finish is very cloying, and displeasing, but to my friends, the finish is smooth and satisfying. They kind of shake their heads at my dislike for the strong vanilla flavour as each of them quite likes it.

Going in, I wasn’t sure: my experience with Puerto Rico was previously with Bacardi – the bestselling rum in the world and the choice of expatriates in far flung and remote corners of the world such as where I used to be – and Bacardi is a well-meaning, reasonably tasty but generally boring mixer — I tarred Captain Morgan with the same broad brush. There are a few nuances of baking spice and oak and of course some rummy caramel left over as well; but it is the vanilla that I notice above everything else.

Deep amber colour; slightly spirity, sweet dark fruit, subtle spice and molasses aromas; slightly sweet, medium bodied, with rich, generous palate, with soft spice and candied fruit flavours; warm and satisfying finish.
