Crack this open and you get vanilla, brown sugar and warm baking spice before the liquid even hits the glass. It's smooth, a little sweet, and ridiculously easy to make a drink with. Pour it over ice, top with cola, squeeze in a lime and you've got the classic Captain and Coke that needs zero skill and never lets you down. The 1L bottle means you're sorted for the whole crew on a late one, and we'll have it at your door fast, whatever hour your group chat decides it's go time.
Bright amber gold in the glass. The nose is all cosy: rich vanilla, brown sugar, a hit of dried fruit and that warming spice mix of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, with a whisper of oak underneath. On the tongue it's soft and rounded, more sweet than sharp, the spices doing the talking while the sugar keeps it friendly. The finish is smooth and short, none of that throat-burn you brace for. It's a sipper that plays nice, which is exactly why it disappears into a glass of cola so well.
The details
How to pour it
The move is over plenty of ice in a tall glass, topped with cola and a fat wedge of lime. That's the Captain and Coke, and it's a classic for a reason. Want it a bit grown up? Ginger ale or ginger beer instead of cola lets the spice shine, again with lime. It's sweet enough to sip neat over a single big ice cube if you're taking it slow. Keep the bottle at room temp, just make sure your mixer and ice are properly cold so the drink doesn't go watery and warm on you.
Pairs well with
Where it comes from
The Captain is named after Sir Henry Morgan, a 17th-century Welsh privateer who ran riot around the Caribbean. The liquid keeps the island connection: it's fine Caribbean rum, blended with a secret recipe of spices and natural flavours and aged in charred oak barrels that give it that golden colour. The spices, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and vanilla among them, go in at the final stage. This particular bottling is produced in England and sits at 35%, which is why it's labelled a spirit drink rather than a straight rum, but the flavour is pure spiced-rum comfort.
