Tasting Notes

Captain Morgan 100 Proof Spiced Rum takes the brand’s signature Caribbean spiced rum and amplifies it with higher strength and bolder character. The nose is rich and intense, with pronounced vanilla, caramel, and oak layered over deep baking spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust, delivering concentrated flavors of molasses, brown sugar, and sweet spice balanced by a warming oak backbone. The higher proof enhances both sweetness and spice, giving it a powerful yet smooth presence. The finish is long and warming, leaving behind lingering notes of vanilla, toffee, and clove.

Food Pairings

This overproof spiced rum pairs best with bold, hearty flavors that can stand up to its strength. As a starter, jerk chicken wings or smoky barbecue ribs highlight its spice and sweetness. For the main course, grilled steak, blackened fish, or spiced pork roast emphasize its intensity. Strong cheeses such as aged Gouda or blue cheese provide a striking contrast, while desserts like sticky toffee pudding, gingerbread cake, or dark chocolate fondue balance its deep, spicy sweetness.
