Captain Morgan Original Spiced Gold

 Enjoyable with Coke

 4,9:Right from the start, the nose reveals a fairly frank alcohol that evaporates and doesn't return. What follows is a great wave of vanilla mixed with sweet spices. This vanilla is extremely present, sweetened and coated like a candy. The indulgence continues with a little milk chocolate. It's very light in flavor, simple but not unpleasant when you love vanilla!On aeration, guess who steals the show once again? More vanilla, for an even sweeter sensation. The candy aspect is now reminiscent of a large packet of marshmallows. The sweet spices are still present, represented by cinnamon. The longer you wait, the more the vanilla fades in favor of sugar, but this rum isn't meant to wait in a glass, as it's more of a cocktail product. 5,5:On the palate, as you'd expect, it's round and very light. A hint of caramel precedes the avalanche of vanilla and marshmallows. The palate, too, is very simple. 4,5:The finish is short, with vanilla, sweetness and a drying finish..

 Good for making cocktails. Smooth impractical!

 A low-end, over-spiced rum. It's undrinkable neat and made especially for cocktails, but even then its spicy taste takes over too much. For the same price, it's better to choose a Cuban rum that won't distort the cocktail.

 Captain Morgan Spice Gold? Cardboard-sweet artificial syrup with cheap vanilla flavoring and artificial spice. More sugar than flavor, more marketing than quality. Has nothing to do with good rum. Better to drink something real.

 Edit: Now that I mix pretty much every rum I can get my hands on and am looking for the ultimate CubaLibre, I have to say that the Captain is no longer my cup of tea. Somehow I find it very artificial in taste. On its own, it doesn't go down my throat at all. I used to like it in cola, but now it's even too sweet for a rum and coke.

 The nose is almost correct, with roast, spices and a hint of sake. On the palate, however, weakness is evident from the outset with a hollow mouthfeel, then some aromas appear with caramel and yogurt. The finish is minimal, but not unpleasant. A "rum" that doesn't dare call itself rum (because of the 35%?) or because of the additives? But all in all, a pleasant drink.

 Without cola, very thin and watery.

 For Captain Coke perfekt, pure not so good...

 Too sweet, too flavored, and too little alcohol

 Ein Spiced Rum halt. Geeignet für Rum Cola und bedingt für Cuba-Libre. Die alte Abfüllung des Captain mit dem damaligen Logo hatte einen besseren Geschmack als die neue Abfüllung mit "modernem" Logo. (Auf meinem Bild ist die alte Flasche) Nichts zum pur Trinken!

 Yes, what can you say, people used to like drinking it, it's cheap too. But it's definitely far too sweet, because you have to mix it with cola (there's no other way, is there?) and that's even sweeter, which is just too much.

 I know the valuation may be excessive, but this rum evokes all my youth and although it is not the best rum in the world I can drink it and enjoy every mix with Coca Cola as from the first day.

 So viel wie von diesem Rum habe ich wahrscheinlich von noch keinen anderen Rum getrunken. Oops. Mit Cola und Limette ein Klassiker. Durch die Vanille in dieser Kombination auch lecker, aber zum Purtrinken eher weniger geeignet.
