One member sums it up well: "rich black treacle molasses" with a hit of oaky vanilla, but plenty of others find it sharp and boozy for a 40% dark rum. Expect molasses, mocha, wood and a strong alcoholic burn. A few taste medicinal, smoky and roasted notes. Most people reach for cola rather than a tasting glass here.
The community says- Black treacle molasses
- Keep in mind: Alcoholic burn
- Keep in mind: Slightly medicinal

How does Captain Morgan Dark Rum taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Boozy molasses dark rum for mixing Scores are low and opinions run rough: molasses and roasted coffee, but sharp, boozy and a bit medicinal. Most say it's a mixer at best, though a handful rate it higher.

Review by LukaŽiga
6:The nose opens with the rather sweet, gourmand side of a Jamaican rum, made of banana and a drop of resin.Then we get pepper, coconut and orange seem to lead us towards Barbados, while mingled wood and walnuts would guide us more towards Guyana. Plum and other black fruit tannins spice things up a bit, as does the slightly dreadnought, metallic leaning that follows. The profile is rich but rather rough, like a typical navy rum.Aeration rounds out the edges, while caramel, molasses and licorice round out the woodiness. A surprising touch of cane juice or honey enriches the nose considerably. It continues to become more complex, with spices, vegetal notes and walnuts that give it a slightly oxidized aperitif wine feel. The rum becomes softer, less rough. The oak is more mellow, spreading out into nuts and cocoa. 5,5:The palate is soft on entry, revealing a sweet, juicy fruitiness that had been on the back burner until now. Molasses and wood then mingle in a smoother ambience, leading on to coffee and toasted nuts. All these notes remain light and well-balanced, until the toastiness takes over and swarms the taste buds. 5:On the finish, the same dark, roasted notes persist, with black coffee and roasted nuts.
Review by zabo
This rum has nothing to do with the Captain Morgan that I got as a sample from TheDunderhut. I also got another bottle of the Captain, when it was still distilled in Jamaica, here in the forum for a split. The taste is worlds apart, although the original bottling is unfortunately not a unicorn either.
Review by Gregor
No sugar. That's already a positive. Strong tones of wood and roasted notes. Unfortunately a little medicinal in both smell and taste. But I thought it would be much worse. But solid for mixing. Although there are better ones
Review by Timo Groeger
Surprisingly good in my opinion. Must rate it better than the rest of the community. Tastes very spicy and slightly woody, but it goes down my throat well. Can also be drunk neat and not just with cola ;-)
Review by w00tAN
Blind tasting: This stuff is exactly what you get here on vacation, Havana would be better for me. At first sniff you think it could be a very simple rum from Guyana like El Dorado 3 or something but then something comes that tastes more like Old Monk. Even with cola it gets too sweet/strange for me.
Review by Jan Lu
Not really good. But at least it's better than all the "spiced" varieties. The cola is next to it for a reason. Classic supermarket rum. Okay for mixing but nothing more. Wouldn't buy it again.
Review by Rumantisch
Captain morgen dark Hat mich auch nicht wirklich überzeugt. Er ist etwas interessanter als das original obwohl ich ihn auch nicht wirklich empfehlen kann. Für die cola wieder ganz ok wer es mag aber auch hier würde ich sagen kauft lieber was anderes von dem geld.
Review by Rumpalumpa
better than the regular Captain Morgan. it has clear notes of black molassen jamaican rum like myers, or even Worthy Park 109, just quite a lot less refined and with a rather strong alcoholic burn. Usable for drinks that ask for a blackstrap kind of rum
Review by Émile Shevek
It has its own sweet note of cocoa and others of roasted, forest and spices, not as bad as it sounds
Review by Rumbaer
Woah, this one is terrible.... Got it yesterday in a RumCola and it just tastes awful. Sharp, biting, alcoholic, molasses. Yeah, it's in the supermarket but seriously, stay away from it. It will only disappoint you. I didn't finish the glass.
Review by Tim
This one was not good, even for mixing not necessarily suitable. Then rather still the normal Captain Morgan.
Review by Pandemonia
Had a bottle of this from before I started getting into rum, but always used it as a mixer, never tasted it on its own. This is just caramel and more burnt caramel. Somewhat astringent and burning for its modest 40% ABV, too. Slight woody notes as well. Sweet, but actually not the most sweetened rum I've had. Not as bad as I had feared but still ultimately a disappointment. Useable as a cheap mixer if no other options. Will not buy again.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Very surprising and strange nose. Mocha, chocolate, in the background bacon and smoke.Especially mocha also pulls through the taste, but it also becomes quite tangy. The box is nowhere near as bad as expected, though. Long drinks should work, and otherwise: surprisingly bad for the tenner.
