Captain Morgan Spiced Gold Rum 0.0% 5/5

Captain Morgan was one of my favourite rums when I drank alcohol, how will this fair oh Captain?

First and Last Impressions

The crack of the lid in your hand is familiar, the glass prepped with lemon and ice indicates your ready.

As you pour the golden nectar over the ice, it all looks good so far. The ice cracks as normal. At this point I had a big sniff and was surprised how good it smelt, the sweet and spicy caramelly scent is there.

Then out comes cold cola and cover the golden juice.

First taste, bloody hell ! I rechecked the bottle as I couldn't believe it's alcohol free.

It's good, it has all the caramel, vanilla syrupy goodness of the original and that cinnamon warming spice we are used to. I know Captain Morgan isn't the best spiced rum out there but it's a great all rounder and this alcohol free version is fantastic. it captures all the flavours you are used to and has the aftertaste and mouthfeel to match.

The Final Score

What can I say, this is sneakily good. Ignoring all the strange ingredients. I was blown away how close to the original this is. "Again I haven't drunk the original version in over 2 years, so I'm not comparing, I'm remembering". It's a great substitute, as you can see from my image I have enjoyed it rather a lot, as the bottle is nearly gone. "This was over 2-3 weeks I might add"

I haven't tried this in cocktails yet but I will, and I'm sure it will do well as the flavour profile is very similar.

If you enjoyed Original Captain Morgan Spiced you WILL enjoy this.
