Captain Morgan Private Stock

Sweet, but tasty. Lots of brown sugar on the nose, and smooth.

This is a great mixing spiced rum and does ok on the rocks

Not bad on the rocks but great with pineapple juice.

Better than the classic but nothing too special about it.

Great flavor for the $$$. Straiggt on the rocks. Sweet on the nose. Not over sweet on the palate.

Not particularly outstanding but very satisfying spiced rum.

Of the dozen or so rums I have had, this is my second favorite. I was never a fan of captain Morgan spiced rums, but this has some really nice qualities and one can easily tell that the quality is higher than the cheaper bottles.

Ok as a sipping rum. I prefer to mix it with a touch of ginger ale

Obviously if one is looking for legit “good” rum, they steer clear of Captain Morgan altogether. The private Stock is actually decent though. Those who like rum on the sweeter side would probably be ok with it, especially as a mixer. You get a strong vanilla scent on the nose as well (which I enjoy). I keep a bottle to mix with coke on hand at all times.

More subtle spice than the usual spice and less vanilla which I am thankful for. The price is a bit pricey for a moderate range spiced rum. An ok spiced rum and the better one from Captain Morgan.
