Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold 35%

"Comestible avec du Coca"

"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 : Maintenant que je mélange à peu près tous les rhums qui me tombent sous la main et que je suis à la recherche du CubaLibre ultime, je dois dire que le Captain n'est plus du tout ma tasse de thé. D'une certaine manière, je le trouve très artificiel. Pur, il ne descend plus du tout dans la gorge. Avant, je le trouvais toujours bon dans le coca, maintenant il est même trop sucré pour un rhum coca."

"The nose is almost correct, with roast, spices and a hint of sake. On the palate, however, weakness is evident from the outset with a hollow mouthfeel, then some aromas appear with caramel and yogurt. The finish is minimal, but not unpleasant. A "rum" that doesn't dare call itself rum (because of the 35%?) or because of the additives? But all in all, a pleasant 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."

"Oui, qu'est-ce qu'on peut dire, on aimait bien en boire autrefois, c'est aussi bon marché. Mais c'est définitivement beaucoup trop sucré, car il faut aussi mélanger le tout avec du coca (il n'y a pas d'autre moyen, non ?) et le coca est encore plus sucré, ce qui est tout simplement trop."
