Sweetened, bottom tier rum.

What would you personally recommend then?

It's shit. Get Blackheart instead, it has a nice cherry taste to it.

cruzan is decent.
i stay away from liquor now because it brings the monster out.

Genuinely worse than Bacardi Oakheart. Only fit for mixing with cola and getting 20 year old bitches out of their clothes

What's up with North American/British brands forcing the pirate image with rum? Go to somewhere like the Caribbean and literally no brand does this.

There's no secret here, just a blue pill: It's basically the Evan Williams of Spiced Rum.
Not bad for it's price but that's more because the price is so competitive, you can do much better in quality and variety if you bump the price range for a fifth, say, +$10.

Nothing terribly wrong with it, nothing terribly right with it, people who just want some of rum of without too much finagling will be just fine with it. I personally wouldn't get it, but I don't drink much and I'm picky.

Probably has to do with cultural media depicting pirates chugging rum and shit. We think of rum, we think of pirates and vice versa.

[Anonymous No.18045124]

It's not rum. It doesn't even say it's rum anywhere on the bottle.
It is a "rum based spirit drink"
>Captain Morgan, original spiced gold, a premium spirit drink
It's a liqueur at best.
Drink Kraken.
Or if you want to be a real rum rudo, drink Guayabita del Pinar.

>Drink Kraken.
also garbage. Try different kinds of rum until you find one you like. Plantation Barbados, Diplomatico Reserva, Ron Zacapa Centenario, Matusalem.

Noted lads, will scour the market for something better. I tried mixing the captain morgan with lime juice & ginger beer and it seems decent for that, but I want to make a genuine grog.

You mean just literally watering down your rum? Why would you want that?

You be careful now, you're going to get in trouble.

Silver rum is basically vodka

>What's up with North American/British brands forcing the pirate image with rum?
It's because North American's and Brits associate the Caribbean's with pirates. And the Caribbean's, known for their sugar cane supply, are associated with Rum.

The Caribbeans on the other hand have a personal investment in their image, so they're not as keen on being associated with nautical terrorists.

For an extra buck or two the Black is so much better.

Usually this and Bacardi are baby's first rum and therefore looked down upon by rum fags. If you like the sweetness of this, try other sugary rums, like Kaniche XO or Plantation rums. Mount Gay is also cheap and pretty accessible for mixing.
Really just drink what you like. unless you're staring on the road to become a rum fan, drink what's cheap and tastes good to you, no need to buy the good Foursquare or Rhum J.M.

[Anonymous No.18045696]

There are so many good rums out there that are as cheap or cheaper than Captain and widely available. The only excuse for buying this junk is not knowing better.

Try Appleton Estate, El Dorado, Plantation, Rhum Barbancourt, Mount Gay, Smith and Cross, or Ron Diplomático. Shit, even Don Q is better and its literally bottom shelf. Pretty much all of these besides maybe Smith and Cross come in different levels of barrel aging, so it's kinda fun to buy a 3 year and then a 5, 8, 12, 15, etc. next time and taste how the aging process affects the same rum.

Also, don't fucking buy "spiced" rum. It's swill with added unspecified spice to attempt to cover up the fact that it's junk. Same with most "black" rums - it's probably just dyed, not aged, especially if the bottle doesn't specify how long it's been barrel aged (Kraken, Captain Morgan Black, Goslings, even though the latter is pretty good).

Saying silver rum is basically vodka is like saying tomato soup and tomato puree are basically the same thing because they're both red. You stupid!

If you want a good spiced rum get foursquare spiced, if you want to get hammered and a terrible hangover from all the sugar drink captain morgan.
