Captain Morgan Private Stock Rum

Product Information

Above the label we have two swords crossing embossed on the glass referencing the link between Captain Morgan the Privateer and the Captain Morgan Rum, and on the left side of the label we have a nice portrait of the Iconic Privateer. In the 1950’s, Seagram decided to sell their ownership of the distillery to a Puerto Rican company in favor of building a new distillery in San Juan, and licensed the rights to produce Captain Morgan rum. Surprisingly mellow sipper from a purveyor not noted for such drinks; not overly complex, but warm, buxom, heavy and with a rich nose and body. From the top of his list, his favourites like Kraken, captain Morgan Black and gold spiced, Old J, sailor Jerry, Pampero anniversario, vodoo spiced rum.

It smells like someone dumped a bottle of vanilla extract into a pound of brown sugar — almost reminiscent of cookie dough.

While the locals of Caribbean islands such as Jamaica squeezed the sweet sugar cane juices to produce, ferment, disture, and aging to a dark rum, they kept their fluid in Cuba and Puerto Rico during a very short aging period after distillation. In the event of any safety concerns or for any other information about a product please carefully read any instructions provided on the label or packaging and contact the manufacturer. Tax incentives favouring Puerto Rico caused them to transfer manufacturing to a factory outside San Juan (close to where the Bacardi family was setting up a factory at the same time); in 2001 they sold the rights and brand to Diageo, a British concern which by 2010 was the largest spirits company in the world.Privateers at that time in history were essentially ‘legal pirates’ who were allowed to attack and loot enemies of the state reaping the rewards from their plunder in lieu of pay.

His early life (including how he made his way to the Caribbean) is largely unknown, but we do know that by the 1660’s Morgan was captain of a privateer ship charged with capturing Spanish ships in the Caribbean. Other brands, including Captain Morgan and Seagram’s 7 Crown, were sold to the British spirits firm Diageo in 2001.

In 1944, though, the company decided to launch a new line of Caribbean spiced rum inspired by the life of famous pirate Henry Morgan, and formed the Captain Morgan Rum Company as a holding company for the new venture. From our sortiment you can find over +5000 products from leading brands, distilleries and breweries around the globe. But I can see how it would be overwhelming to someone who doesn’t favor a stronger vanilla flavor in their rums.
