🥃 Captain Morgan Sliced Apple
Apple version of Captain Morgan: spiced rum with natural apple flavour; 35% ABV according to the brand's American page.
Captain Morgan Sliced Apple is the apple version of the Captain Morgan brand. Diageo describes it as the Original Spiced Gold profile with fresh apple and a hint of ginger. According to the American page, it is a spiced rum with natural apple flavour and 35% ABV.
The ingredients are listed briefly on the page: rum, natural apple flavour, spices and other natural flavourings; there is no full list. The brand describes the taste as sweet, juicy and crisp, like sliced apples. For cocktails it suggests the Sliced Apple Mule and the Keepin' it 100 espresso martini. For comparison, Original Spiced Gold has the same 35% ABV but without the apple taste, while White Rum is 40% ABV.
Why this matters to you. This is a flavoured drink, not a classic rum in the EU sense. Do not use it as a substitute for white rum in recipes. Check the strength and name on the label. The WHO reminds us that there is no safe dose of alcohol.
