“Intense with spices and burnt caramel on the nose. It is less alcoholic than expected with reasonable complexity on the nose eventhuogh this is clearly coloured. A bit hot on the the palate but also much better than your contemporary standard bottles you get nowadays. Actually not tooo bad.”

“Franconian Tasting Gang on 02.03.2024. Once again, a big thank you to Tobi for making this rarity from Grandpa's cellar available for sharing. A Captain Morgan as it once was, but unfortunately no longer is. Not to be compared with the current bottlings. Not the best on its own, but definitely a good experience as a mixer.”

“So not really my thing, but really much better than anything associated with Captain Morgan. Caramel from the coloring, cola, citrus and with a bit of wood. Not for drinking straight, but great as a high proof mixer or as a historical shelf item.”
