Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold 35%

"Enjoyable with Coke"

"A low-end, over-spiced rum. It's undrinkable neat and made especially for cocktails, but even then its spicy taste takes over too much. For the same price, it's better to choose a Cuban rum that won't distort the cocktail."

"Edit: Now that I mix pretty much every rum I can get my hands on and am looking for the ultimate CubaLibre, I have to say that the Captain is no longer my cup of tea. Somehow I find it very artificial in taste. On its own, it doesn't go down my throat at all. I used to like it in cola, but now it's even too sweet for a rum and coke."

"Eine fast ordentliche Nase mit Braten, Gewürzen und einer Art Sake-Nase. Im Mund hingegen ist die Schwäche von Anfang an offensichtlich mit einem hohlen Mund, dann tauchen einige Aromen auf mit Karamell und Joghurt.Der Abgang ist minimal, aber nicht unangenehm.Ein "Rum", der sich nicht traut, sich Rum zu nennen (wegen der 35%?) oder wegen der Zusatzstoffe?Aber alles in allem ein angenehmer Drink."

"4,9:Right from the start, the nose reveals a fairly frank alcohol that evaporates and doesn't return. What follows is a great wave of vanilla mixed with sweet spices. This vanilla is extremely present, sweetened and coated like a candy. The indulgence continues with a little milk chocolate. It's very light in flavor, simple but not unpleasant when you love vanilla!On aeration, guess who steals the show once again? More vanilla, for an even sweeter sensation. The candy aspect is now reminiscent of a large packet of marshmallows. The sweet spices are still present, represented by cinnamon. The longer you wait, the more the vanilla fades in favor of sugar, but this rum isn't meant to wait in a glass, as it's more of a cocktail product. 5,5:On the palate, as you'd expect, it's round and very light. A hint of caramel precedes the avalanche of vanilla and marshmallows. The palate, too, is very simple. 4,5:The finish is short, with vanilla, sweetness and a drying finish..."

"Without cola, very thin and watery."

"Ja was soll man sagen, hat man früher ganz gern getrunken, ist ja auch billig. Ist aber definitiv viel zu süß, da man das ganze ja auch mit Cola mischen muss (anders geht's ja nicht oder?) und die ist ja noch mal zusätzlich süß, was einfach zu viel ist."
