Captain Morgan Gold 250ml
★★★★½ 4.3 (3 reviews)You know exactly what you want this for. Pour it over ice, top with cola, and you've got the drink that turns a quiet flat into a party in about ten seconds. It's warm, vanilla-sweet and easy on the burn, the kind of rum that gets along with everyone you hand a cup to. The 250ml is the move when you want enough for a couple of good nights without committing to a full bottle. Late one and out of mixer? We'll get it to you.
Crack it open and you get vanilla first, big and sweet, with cinnamon and a little clove riding behind it. There's caramelised brown sugar in there, a whiff of dried fruit, the smell of a spice cupboard left open. On the tongue it's soft and almost creamy, more vanilla and warm baking spice than fire, with the faintest hint of oak on the way out. It's sweet and forgiving, which is exactly why it disappears so easily into a cola.
The details

Where it's from
Captain Morgan is named after Henry Morgan, a real 17th-century Welsh privateer who raided the Spanish Main and somehow ended up Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica. The rum itself is a secret blend of Caribbean rums, then spiced up with vanilla, cinnamon and other warm flavours. It's one of the biggest-selling rum brands on the planet, and the spiced Gold is the bottle that made it famous.
