🥃 Captain Morgan Private Stock
Aged expression of Captain Morgan: a rich dark spiced rum, 40% ABV according to the American page; the page gives no age.
Captain Morgan Private Stock is the aged expression of the Captain Morgan brand. According to the American page, it is a rich, dark and full rum for special occasions, with 40% ABV. It can be drunk neat, on ice or used in mixes. The label describes it as Caribbean rum with spices and other natural flavourings.
The page calls it aged rum, but gives no age, cask type or ageing period, so we do not give these details. There is no full list of ingredients, and apart from 'rich, dark and full' the page offers no tasting notes. For comparison, Original Spiced Gold has 35% ABV and Private Stock has 40% ABV, so it is not only an aged expression but also a somewhat stronger drink.
Why this matters to you. This is a more aged expression than Original Spiced Gold, but without an age on the label it cannot be compared with rums that state their age. Check the name and the strength. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe dose of alcohol.
