Captain Morgan Black Spiced
The darker, drier brother of Spiced Gold. More spices, more alcohol, and less sweetness: Captain Morgan for those who like their long drinks spicy, with ginger beer instead of cola.
What makes Black Spiced different?
Captain Morgan Black Spiced starts with a blend of Caribbean rums, enhanced with clove, cinnamon, and cassia. The final step is aging in charred oak barrels. Together with the spices, this makes it darker and bolder than the well-known Spiced Gold.
The main difference is in the strength and sweetness. Black Spiced is bottled at 40%, compared with 35% for Spiced Gold, and is noticeably less sweet. While Spiced Gold centers on vanilla and caramel, warm spices take the lead here. That means it holds its own against a bold mixer like ginger beer and is also enjoyable over ice.
