Captain Morgan Black Label Original 40° – 1 liter! : Description and customer reviews

Captain Morgan Black Label is a blend of different molasses rums distilled in Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad in column and pot still, and aged for several years in oak barrels.

This is a simple, effective rum. You can drink it as a tasting rum, but it's more suited to cocktails. For example, you can add cola or ginger ale: 1 part rum to 3 parts cola or ginger ale, with a slice of lime and ice cubes... Cheers!

Nico's tasting notes

Summary: ripe fruit - leather - molasses - liquorice - full-bodied - roasted

The nose opens with the rather sweet, gourmand side of a Jamaican rum, made of banana and a drop of resin. Several families of aromas then follow in fairly detached succession: pepper, coconut and orange seem to lead us towards Barbados, while mingled wood and walnuts would guide us more towards Guyana. Plum and other black fruit tannins spice things up a bit, as does the slightly dreadnought, metallic leaning that follows. The profile is rich but rather rough, like a "Navy" rum.
Aeration rounds out the edges, while caramel, molasses and licorice round out the woodiness. A surprising touch of cane juice or honey enriches the nose considerably. It continues to become more complex, with spices, vegetal notes and walnuts that give it a slightly oxidized aperitif wine feel. The rum becomes softer, less rough. The oak is more mellow, spreading out into nuts and cocoa.

The palate is soft on entry, revealing a sweet, juicy fruitiness that had been on the back burner until now. Molasses and wood then mingle in a smoother ambience, leading on to coffee and toasted nuts. All these notes remain light and well-balanced, until the toastiness takes over and swarms the taste buds.

On the finish, the same dark, roasted notes persist, with black coffee and roasted nuts.

"Here is a true blend of Navy-style rums, a simple yet faithful expression of the style..."
